Is "From the River to the Sea" So Wrong?
i see some articles online that H1B premium processing has been suspended. is this only for Cap subject petitions that come under the annual quota or for all pretitions such as transfers to a different employer. i just accepted an offer from a different company and now wondering if they will do premium processing at all. TC - 210K Yoe - 7 yrs #h1b #h1bpremiumprocessing #h1btransfer
PP is still there for changing companies. Relax
Ya, did some more research and you are right. They still have the premium processing for transfer petitions
Seems like they blew that one off too
Why not share the articles ?
This is only applicable for cap petitions(going into the lottery system). I think this was already declared last year itself.
From USCIS “At this time, premium processing for H-1B petitions that are exempt from the cap, such as extension of stay requests, remains available.”
As per today’s news : closed for both cap subject and exempt even for the applications which are currently pending under premium processing.
Yes that’s correct
If you already submitted for PP and your application got accepted then 50-50 chance. If they don’t respond in 15 days, USCIS will refund the fees.
So even transfers are not allowed under premium now? If so, does anyone have any idea how long is it taking for petition receipt notice? Asking on behalf of a friend who just recieved an offer but now is panicking.
3 month at most
3 months to get receipt or approval?
He can still join on receipt if his extension is due at the current company now.
But the problem is getting receipts will also be delayed in the current situation
You mean accepting the application? Once you have the fedex tracking number, you are good to start I guess.
It usually applies only to CAP petitions
Ya true
What’s CAP petitions
