I recieved an rfe for my h1b transfer to Amazon. The application was made on the 8th and status updated on 13th. The case is with Fragomen and no email from them yet. Is there any possibility that this gets resolved in couple of weeks as opposed to months? Anybody else on same boat or had their rfe approved sooner in similar situations? #rfe #h1b
What was the reason for RFE? What more evidence did they wanted?
Got an RFE as well. Transfer to BlackRock. Fragomen/BlackRock simply told me that the joining will have to be pushed by "a few months". I am not sure if they will genuinely respond and get back to me or just freeze me out.
They will get back if they need your inputs I guess..otherwise need to play the waiting game. It’s hard for me coz I told my manager unofficially about my move. Now they want me to give notice which I can’t
Oh you shouldn't have done that. Hopefully it works out soon for you. All the best.
It’s common. Chill.
I’m in the same boat got RFE for my transfer, RFE for speciality occupation.
Sorry to hear buddy. What did your new employer say about how long it'll take?
I got my RFE on Dec 31st. Attorney reached out on Jan 5th and said it would at least take them 5-7 weeks to prepare the documents and send it to USCIS.
Same boat! Specialty occupation RFE.
What is your educational background?
BE/MS in computer engineering
Same case with me. My H1-B transfer for RFE and process is going at snail's pace. They want more job details from my manager at Amazon and then will prepare a response which will take 3-4 weeks. Feels like it'll take forever.
I got an RFE for H1B transfer to Facebook. Current role: Consultant New role: Enterprise Engineer at FANG Nature of RFE is unknown at this time. Education: BE in Electronics from India, MS in Computer Science from US. Honestly didn't expect an RFE with a significant jump in base salary and the fact that I am moving from a Consulting firm to a reputed tech company. Granted its not for SWE, but Enterprise Engineer is not that bad?
I guess you got the rfe because they would like to know how the position is relevant to the major or how the position is a speciality occupation. I also got rfe for fb!
Which team are you joining at FB? Did your attorney already respond to the USCIS?
I got RFE on 01/17 , I am on different visa and was trying to get my lottery transferred prior to visa activation . Has anyone ever done lottery transfer prior to activating it ? I think Amazon legal team screwed up my application as RFE details do not match with my application details entirely. BAL team work s at snail speeds and I am so disappointed . They took like 2 months just to send the application .

Is “design kubernetes” a fair sys design question for new grad?
Hi there, recently i also got an rfe for h1b transfer. These days a lot of people are getting it. The only problem is the attorney takes 4-8 weeks to prepare the rfe response. They dont hurry on it as any mistake can lead to rejection. So the agency firm takes time to prepare the rfe response and multiple people validate the same. Once they send the response, uscis makes a decision in 2 weeks Are you an SWE?
Thanks for comforting words. You got the offer from amazon as well? And yes it’s for SDE
I got rfe for Facebook ! Rfe reason is so stupid. Speciality occupation.
