I’m on H1B ( with approved I-140 ) and looking to accept an offer from Microsoft and start the H1B transfer process. ( I’m not going to join unless approval is received, def not on H1B petition receipt ) I have been seeing multiple posts on Blind about people getting an RFE in their H1B transfer process with Microsoft. Wanted to know the stats and how proactive and helpful Microsoft’s immigration team is during this stressful process ? Also, if you got an RFE , denial or rejection then what was the reason ?

I thought Microsoft HRs themselves don’t give a green light till the petition is approved. I went through the process a year back.
Ok that’s great then as there will be no pressure on me to join w/o an approval ... did you get an RFE ? Where they transparent during the process ?
I did not receive a RFE. The process was okay but I would highly recommend confirming with the HR+immigration team about any automated emails received from immigration.
Wait for approval and RFE is has equal probability for FAANGMULA. Wait for approval and join
Yes that’s for sure not joining on receipt
