H1b transfer RFE

Hey guys, I got an RFE (speciality occupation) for H1B transfer. Is it safe to transfer based on H1B transfer receipt? Are there instances where the transfer gets denied? What options do I have if that’s the case? PS: I’m a direct hire @ both places

Which company to which company were you making the transfer?

One of the FAANG companies

don't risk it. wait till approval. if you're not in engineering, you're more vulnerable to a reject. I've heard of PMs getting rejects.

Thank you! In engg & a well paid position, but don’t want to take a risk

Cool, either way, don't risk it. you never know.

Wait till approval...joining on approval not safe

Thanks, will do

Don't take risk unless u don't have an option..uscis guys don't know faang or anything..they go with documentation. .

Definitely wait for the approval. I know a friend who was asked crazy questions as part of RFE including other employees pay so the new employer revoked the offer

Woah

Are you moving to a SRE role? As others said, wait till the approval if you can.

Juniper Lollolol OP Jan 8, 2018

No, SE role

Heard from a friend his friend h1b transfer was rejected. Don’t have much details but this is the new trend

Juniper Lollolol OP Jan 8, 2018

Thanks

Don’t move without h1b approval. Such a sad state of affairs for well educated, well paid, skilled legal immigrants. Meanwhile, illegal immigrants are roaming the streets free. Well done

Juniper Lollolol OP Jan 8, 2018

True. Will take that advise

Can you share your profile? What did you do in bachelors and what did you do in masters?

Juniper Lollolol OP Jan 8, 2018

BS electrical, MS CS

Glassdoor pxndbekf Jan 8, 2018

Hmm I have read some immigration firms where if the BS is in some other field than CS then they are getting rfe. Did you Google that?

What's your wage level and SOC code?

Where can I find what is my wage level and soc code?

You should be able to find yours in your H1 submission packet, else check with your filing lawyer. Also, check this - http://www.flcdatacenter.com/oeswizardstart.aspx
