Recently started transfer process and it seems to take 6~8 weeks per my BAL lawyer. If you’ve started transfer process recently within last 3 months, how long was your lawyer’s estimate or the real time it took? My lawyer mentioned LCA alone takes 2 weeks at minimum, so I am seriously doubting if this is industry standard. TC : 236
If you are dealing with frgomen they are shit. Bal is also not that great, yes 2 weeks for LCA and by the time if it gets approved and everything is ready with documentation, they can immediately file h1b transfer with USCIS in premium, it can take up to 2 weeks. You can expect 4 weeks but if it is delayed for a week so expect atleast 5 weeks. Basically anywhere between 4-6 weeks. Again it all depends on case by case, h1b tranfer can be approved with a day by USCIS as well.
I started probably around when you did too. Submitted my documents on 18th October. Hope it gets approved before Thanksgiving
I’d say 4 weeks best case. 6-8 is average. They also take into account their processing time paper work etc.
