Discuss decemberkicks's H-1B USCIS Case

Hi @decemberkicks, did you happen to know what was the RFE requested? If you got it please do share and does your appplication number starts with WAC18234 or what are the first six digits and soc code and also if it is in FTE or EVC role.

Yeah it’s speciality occupation, it’s FTE, it’s WAC18229, don’t know SOC code. Why does it matter application number?

My application received date is 07/13/2018 and RFE received on 23rd however my attorney dint received the RFE copy yet .I could see you have received RFE on 20th , may i know when did you receive your RFE Copy ?

Did your case history shows something like this as well before RFE and stopped premium processing? “We corrected your name for your case”? I am checking as I got RFE today and it shows this also.

it shows below nothing else- We stopped the 15-day premium processing clock for your case

Oh ok. Also for speciality occupation can you share what was the job title requested for and soc code for lca? Is your company legal team providing any new documents based on RFE? I am asking as now a days most FTE Jobs are getting that RFE and I am thinking may be I got that one.

Attorney working on my case did not receive the RFE document yet, i dont know how long it take.

Same case for me, I was under the impression that USCIS sends a fax to attorney, but may be not. I will let you know if my attorney get the RFE next week or so.

Hi @Shreyan212, did your attorney got the hard copy also and how long did it took to get the hard copy of RFE? DId they get via fax as well?

Hi @decemberkicks, did your attorney got the hard copy also and how long did it took to get the hard copy of RFE? DId they get via fax as well?

I think no fax copies these days only through regular mail. I believe it took may be 4 - 5 days to get the letter. Thanks

All the best @Decemberkicks, mine response was also sent on 5th September and USCIS got it on 11th September so crossing my fingers.

Hi @decemberkicks mine was denied today and yet to know what was the reason they denied it. will advise.

Hi @ decemberkicks did get any update.

No update yet. Sorry to hear @liksup.

mine got approved on 24th and RFE response received date was 13th

@Shreyan212 Congrats man. This waiting game is killing, hoping some new soon :) fingers crossed.

yeah, i know it is not easy, good luck

Same Boat...Got RFE for Specialty Occupation - Degree Relevance...

Replied RFE on Sep 19th waitingggg

no worries @decemberkicks, I did not join my new employer based on receipt number as I did not had that much confidence on their legal department as they never share much details being a big multi national company. Hence I guess it is ok as this was a transfer and did not happen after I joined them during extension. Only thing little bit disappointed as once got some good FTE job, but their legal department is not kind of good to make it through or so.

@Staypositive25 GoodLuck :) @liksup yeah I know getting a FTE in a good company is tough.

Got approved guys :) thanks for your help and support. All the best

Congratulations !!!

@decemberkics where did u check

@decemberkicks, could you pls tell what was your education background ? and what docs did the attorney submitted ?

thanks!

@decemberkicks congratulations

Congrats... happy for you

@H1BTransferCA Thanks! @Sub87 got email from attorney not updated in any website

@Staypositive25 Thanks! you will get it soon :)

@Leathersofa Mech Eng, As far as I know we went for expert opinion letter, I have submitted my master and bachelors certs.

Congratulations @decemberkicks !!!

Whoever got Speciality occupation RFE, can you suggest what information you provided to the attorney.

@decemberkicks what all documents did you submit for your RFE and who is your attorney if i may askl,also is it FTE?

@ramaram@anih yeah its FTE, Fragomen lawfirm. Ive provided employment verification letters from all my previous employers and all my bachelors & masters certs. Thanks and All the Best.

@decemberkicks what do you mean by employment verification letters,does submitting pay stubs not provide as proof that you were employed and just curious was it asked in your RFE by USCIS to submit?

@anih Actually those letters were required to generate expert opinion letter from third party service not to USCIS.

@decemberkicks did attorney request them as even i have similar RFE and is handled by fragomen,but they didn't request me.and also what was mentioned in the employment verification letters

Yes @anih they told me to get them, its mostly for your role and responsibilities.

@decemberkicks, @Shreyan212, @Staypositive25 Can you guys please help me out since I am also on same boat got degree relevance RFE, What all documents are needed to submit. My background is in EE and we submitted all Masters and bachelor certificates.

@NP21

For this the best thing Is submit expert opinion letter from a PHD professor and after that it’s our luck.

To get the expert opinion letter, we need to provide our degree certificates, mark sheets, experience letter or employment verification letters for all ur employers.

Professor will prOvide a letter which states that ur Indian degree is relevant to American degree and ur progressive experience will help in doing ur work.

It’s the best bet. How much is ur experience ??

@staypositive have you done masters from United States?

No.. I did btech mechanical and 11+ Years IT experience.

Ok just asking because my attorney did not ask any employment letters at be because I have masters from US

@decemberkicks do you have masters from US as you were also mentioning that you have submitted employment verification letter

@anih Yes I have my masters in Mech Engg and also I have submitted employment verification letters upon lawyers request. If your attorney can get expert letter without employment verification letters then you are good, all you need is expert letter.

+1 for @Staypositive25 response above.

@Staypositive25
i did Masters in EE from USA and have 3 years experience
as discuss with lawyer and he suggested that they will get evaluation
done from Silvergate as they are already working with them but from my end not sure is that enough?? thinking to get one more letter from PHD prof
do anyone have suggestions and to whom i should contact ??

@decemberkicks
you submitted employment verification letter from previous employer does that mean work experience letter ??

@Staypositive25 wish you all the very best, Please keep us posted here about your case.

@NP21

There 2 things
1) Education evaluation letter
2) Expert opinion letter

Silver gate will do both. Even I did from same. As u have masters and less they are experience may be they are going for education evaluation my case is the opposite only bachelors and 11 years so did expert opinion letter. As far I know expert opini N has more precedence to education evaluation, because it includes both. It’s my opinion just check with ur attorney again.

@Staypositive25
Thank you what if we try to submit both ? or we need to any any one of those?
I guess @decemberkicks has also Masters in ME so wanted to know what they submitted on their end

NP21 yeah we can submit both

okay thank you

@Staypositive25
your case is in premium ?

Congrats on your approval. I also got the same RFE. expert opinion letter is ready, attorney might reply next week

@decemberkicks was your attorney from Fragomen?
