Fellow blinds, share your experience if it is similar to mine. I received an offer from an emerging startup (let’s keep it secret 😉). Submitted all the documents, certificates, previous petition however got a response from the attorney (mind you not the employer) that there is some concern about the time left in my H1B visa and since I do not have an approved I-140, they are little concerned about going ahead with me ☹️!! With recapture, my time outside of US, I should still have ~1.5 years left. Is this a genuine concern the employer is showing? I am worried because they promised to file the transfer in PP and one week has already gone by in deliberations. I had made few plans but that all seems to be going down the drain now😢. I don’t have high hopes now but just wanted to share with you all. Don’t ask for TC because it’s 😭!!
Wow this for real?
You’ll have to tell them to file i140 ASAP after you get h1b transferred. 1.5 years is doable but you have to convince them fast. Same situation happened with me with 1 year left, but it was in 2017
I wish if they file for xfer. They seem to be in a fix at the first stage which is processing H1B transfer!!
H1b is fading with time.
Recent trends might suggest what you are saying !!
As per @hasan seems to be the case atleast with FB !!
Maybe try other companies and see what they say?
OP how did it go in the end?
Did they promise to file your i140?
Don’t remember that, them promising to file an i140 but the visa transfer. I do remember them telling that my current employer has NOT filed an i140 for me though.
So you have no clue what i140 is
