5 days...got approval last week. Was filed one week before that

From my own experience ( for FTE only -No staffing) I can say the job description provided by the employer, how it relates to the speciality occupation degree requested by your employer and how your coursework relates to the job description are the key elements for RFE chances . More than even TC. If all of the above are well detailed in your application then you should be through.. 5 days or 15 is irrelevant. Just be patient and good luck !

They had a good job description and I had a good foreign degree evaluation which states degree and experience is equal to dual degree bachelors of science and management information systems. Let’s see how it goes.

290k for L5! Great offer. Seems like an exception. Congrats!

Initial offer was 240k but I had competitive offer and got a decent feedback from bar raiser so ended up this much. I have other transfer pending as well .. delaying documents so amazon will go through first.

Thanks and good luck to you as well! I had another petition filed a couple of weeks ago at the Nebraska center and that got approved in 2 days so this is definitely longer

Accenture M0n1ka OP Aug 14, 2019

Cisco nah888 Aug 14, 2019

Yes have the account but don’t see the case number anywhere How long it takes to get the case number ? Mine was filed on 8th Aug , FedEx tracking shows it was received by CSC on 9th Aug

Guys got an update last evening.. my case was approved on 08/14. Receipt date mentioned 08/10 but premier clock started on 08/09.. got approval on 08/14. Yet to heat from attorney about actual approval dates but I hope it will be for 3 years

Congratulations!! When is your joining date ?

Accenture M0n1ka OP Aug 15, 2019

Mostly Sept 2nd week. I will take a week off to use my accrued vacation in August so little delay

Accenture M0n1ka OP Aug 15, 2019

I set up email and mobile notification on in both egov & dhs portal and got the update on egov portal.. DHS still has old status so egov is where you can check for latest update
