I think premium processing is back again

LabCorp [๐Ÿ—ฟ] OP Feb 21, 2019

Premium processing is back only for H1B transfers that are filed on or before December 21, 2018

What about the H1B transfer filed now? Does it have pp?

I submitted all my document on 20th Jan, they said another 4 weeks from today to get me clearance to join on receipt. What questionnaire did you fill ?

LabCorp [๐Ÿ—ฟ] OP Feb 21, 2019

I have filled in questionnaire too, but they have not mentioned about timeline at all. No response for the past 2 weeks. So it takes more than 6 weeks to get a receipt ?

The Home Depot dytA68 Feb 21, 2019

What was the questionnaire called ? โ€œVisa hire โ€œ or โ€œh1b change of employer โ€œ?

Any predictions of opening PP for applications filed after Dec 21 2019 in March 2019?

LabCorp [๐Ÿ—ฟ] OP Feb 22, 2019

Have no idea. Anything can happen.

I'm also on the same boat. Submitted "visa hire" questionnaire in the last week of February and "change of employer" questionnaire this week. They say it will take 6-8 weeks for them to file it. Please post when they file it for you. Thanks
