What to do if your current employer for not providing updates on H1B status specially RFE?

I started working for my current employer ( service industry , not BlackRock) on receipt . And they have not been providing timely updates on my H1B status. They didn’t file my case as PP initially, only provided a copy of the H1B receipt. When I enquired about the PP they filed it 2 weeks after that ( in April end). They haven’t provided me with the PP receipt or the LCA till date. The case status doesn’t show any updates so I assumed there is an RFE. Early June they asked me for my latest paycheck from previous employer , which confirmed my suspicions of an RFE. I’m stuck in this limbo of just emailing the HR / Immigration DL who don’t even respond. I’m not sure what else I can do ?

Your first mistake was working on receipt. 🙄 Going home is always an option if you find the process so unbearably frustrating. Why not physically take a walk to HR and ask what’s up? Emailing clearly isn’t working so it’s sorta dumb to continue doing that.

I’ve been here for more than a decade and while the process was always a bit frustrating i was never kept in the dark like this .... I have been both consulting and in FTE. Also, I work on client site and the HR and immigration are in a different city

How are you here for a decade when h1b is only for 6 years?

I had to because my last boss was being an ass about a personal situation I was having ( despite being a FTE )

What is “working on receipt”?

BlackRock saywat OP Jul 1, 2019

When H1B is filed by your new employer but not approved yet ... so you can join the new employer on the H1B receipt
