Hello, I am currently in the process of h1b transfer to Google. I have received a rfe for the h1b transfer. I went through the rfe and found that the reason for rfe was only 'Maintenance of Status'. But the lawyers are saying the rfe has two reasons: 1. Specialty occupation, 2. Maintenance of status. I feel the lawyers are confusing the h1b petition introduction paragraph as a reason for rfe. I have attached a screenshot of the rfe document. People who have received or seen similar rfe, could you please help me out on what the rfe is asking for? Thanks. TC- 260k #h1b #rfe #swe #google
I have the same RFE and Fragomen is just processing my documents for maintenance of status. This is not a speciality occupation RFE. That’s just the introduction since H1B is a speciality occupation visa
Thanks for reply. Yes, it was only for maintenance of status. The lawyers realized it after a week in my case. They have filed the RFE response today.
@OP DMed you regarding a similar case. Can you check?
@OP does the maintenance of status RFE comes from lack of proof on current H1b status? Thanks
Yes. Recommended is at least 3 recent pay stubs from your h1b status period. In my case, the lawyers had submitted older pay stubs which were before my h1b status started.
Update: RFE Response filed - 12/11/2020 H1B Approved - 12/21/2020
I know it’s a stale post. But congrats on getting it resolved in short time!
Dude, did your lawyers only take 8 days to file a response?
Update: Approved 25th Jan, 2021. Thanks to premium processing

Looks like both, lawyer is correct
