H1-b (new, amendment, transfer) - Odds of Denial for Final H1b Decisions
Hi Guys,
First off, for those who did not read my update on the other post, the published data is only for case decisions of the LCA stage of the process - so can't use those. After some research, the best thing I got is a published report by the top 30 employers for H1b Case decision by USCIS (this should be the final H1b statistics). Nevertheless, I reached out to USCIS for the full dataset, meanwhile, for those who need this, please see below:
FYI: I don't have the raw data so I can't see what is excluded/included (E.g. not sure if USCIS included withdrawals in this calculation or full-time only?) one thing for sure that they did not specifically filter for H1b transfer cases. % of Denied in 2018 and sample size.

In either case top 3 are making fair chance look worse.if we can get data about how many of them have been actually used , I mean which of the accepted H1bs have been used for work tenure that would help to flag real misuse of lottery.
Also was wondering if there is any way that can check previous eveluated and granted one's which have been actually used for work. I ask this because few of my friends have been selected and granted but could never make it to use it or they use it just for few months. This is sheer waste for an opportunity for some one who is having full time presence here.
Also if it is to FAANG, they got other locations which you can work from temporarily while they refile/appeal in case of denial
