H1b transfer premium processing
Just heard back from fragomen that H1B transfers are not eligible for premium processing now even though there was a news of Premium processing starting from Jan 27th. Any one has more context on premium processing and h1b transfers?
19th feb is when transfers will be eligible. But this can be pushed out since racist Cissna is being difficult.
It’s only resumed for capped petitions.
they are right. Cap exempt premium processing should hopefully start in February.
Premium processing is resumed for H1B cap applications on Jan 28. Transfers come under cap exempt. The original suspension on Premium processing was until Feb 19, 2019. So wait until 19th for any update
Thanks, where can I read more about these, can you give me pointers?
Thank you all, have an outstanding offer from a company n fragomen seems to think it should take about 8 to 10 months for the transfer to complete. Sounds ridiculous to me, but is that the trend these days?
Unfortunately that’s the trend..I have seen few people went back to India because they couldn’t get approval in 240 days, due to some additional rfe
How are folks even switching jobs at this time?
Google, Uber, Facebook and bigger companies should be okay with potentially waiting for that long
Hour about startups? Companies that are not Google or FB or Netflix?
I would say it varies a lot. If you really want to go to a particular company, ask them in clear terms before starting the interview process. Fitbit ghosted me for almost a month after learning I was on H1B
Yes they are right
