What are my options? I don’t yet know the reason for the rejection. The rfe was for specialty occupation. Do companies generally contest the denial? Or try applying again as a new H1b transfer request? More details: I haven’t left the old company so in that sense I am safe. I have masters and bachelors in electrical and computer engineering and the role is a product manager role in a recently ipo’ed company. I have a PM experience as well.
Is this for tech role ? How can it not be specialty occupation. What does job description look like
Wait what does speciality occupation mean?
Try talk to your company’s lawyer?
Ya details will help.
Netflix has sales team ?
I hope you did not join new company on the basis on receipt
This. NEVER join a company, it doesn’t matter if it’s a fantastic company BEFORE you get your approval.
I’m not really sure how your details will help, but whatever. You can do two things, you can continue with your old employer, or contest the decision. Companies usually DONT contest. If you have already joined the new company on receipt, well then, I’m sorry but you are screwed.
So this had happened to me way back and the company filed for another transfer request immediately and I could continue working based on receipt and the fact that my i94 was valid. As expected my application went into RFE( they filed the old one to save time) and then provided a really in depth answer as a response.
This sucks. I am in process of transferring my H1 and I got RFE as well. Attorney replied yesterday with a detailed response. The position is of senior sales engineer but after reading this I am doubtful
Before you go out of status leave the country !!
