Hi Blind community. I finally got selected in the h1b lottery in this March. Just a quick question in terms of premium processing. From what I read on several posts in other forums, it seems that there are two separate premium processing, right? One is for the h1b petition the other is for h1b transfer? I heard that for h1b transfer, it is better to go with the premium processing while for the first-time h1b petition, just wait until Oct/Nov? Thanks!!! 👻#workvisa #h1b
No there is only 1 type of premium processing for H1B. Wait till oct for what? The application period ends june 30 and your lawyers need to submit your petition by then
Oh I mean June 30 is the deadline for submission of the materials. And I heard that general processing usually takes about five months so I could then have h1b status in this Oct/Nov? So do you mean that if I pay premium processing fee $2500, the processing time for both my general processing and the h1b transfer that happens later if I receive an offer from another company would be shorter?
Why would you be paying for premium processing? Isn’t your employer paying for the application?
