i generally see people posting that their RFE is approved. But, they would have lost 1 to 3 months of that sweet new TC :p typcially the RFE is an ask for speciality occupation. Any SDET or SWE got denial after RFE? why not just join on reciept if it gets approved eventually?
The current USCIS data for issue rates of RFEs for H1B is 39.6%. The approval rate after RFEs is 62.7%. So if you are a high-roller go join on a receipt and knock yourself out.
It’s not 39.6%. It’s over 60% at this point.
So don’t join on receipt. I got RFE for both extension and transfer
I know the waiting game is killing but wait it out imo. Stuff we see here and other online forums is just a small subset of reality. Joining on receipt is risky unless new employer has a plan in case of denial.
