I recently got an offer from a mid size software company and I accepted it. Then they filed for my H-1b transfer and I got an RFE. I haven't quit my amazon job yet. They responded to the RFE and I got a denial notice today. What are my options now. Can I still work at Amazon or I'll have to leave? Update: Position was program manager for a sw product in Seattle itself. Wage level 3. Reason for denial . Speciality occupation. Not having a management UG or management Masters. I've done BS CS MS analytics from top 5 school. Just a weird feeling. I do realize H-1B program has loopholes that employers exploit to underpay employees and needs reform. But this was needless. As a silver lining for this shitty day, I got BTC and LTC on the dip. :)
What was the reason for denial ? I know they are giving tough time to new applicant. Why on earth would theydeny transfer
Which company
Curious, what's your role and background. I heard there were denials for lot of analyst roles
I'm not sure if I want to.
I am going through something similar but in opp sense from pm to sr analyst ...the hr says my new title had to sr analyst to level up with new company comp structure .. should I be concerned abt the transfer too ?
Yes. This administration has been increasingly adopting a deny first, explain later. Why do you think everyone got RFEs all of a sudden? Bad time to be an immigrant.
You can still work at Amazon.. its good that you didn’t quit
You did the right thing by waiting until you had the approval notice. Had you quit AMZN, you'd be screwed. Your I-797 for Amazon is still valid so the net effect is zero. No harm, no foul !
Sorry to hear that :(
