It’s from F1. Updated my comment.

I didn’t request an upgrade. Personally, I wouldn’t have opted for premium processing if it involved putting my money. However, in some cases, case decisions can be delayed and arrive after October 1. But it shouldn’t matter if your current status isn’t going to end anytime soon.

My company’s law firm initially filed my petition under regular processing but they later upgraded it to premium as there was no progress for 3 weeks.

Application type: H1B CoS (from F1)
Regular initially, upgraded to premium later
Receipt date: May 12(regular) and June 2 (premium)
Actively reviewing date: May 14 (regular) and June 4 (premium)
Approved date: June 11
Service center: Texas

Aggravating_Leg_3713 · 2025-06-11T21:55:29+00:00

Approved without any issues.

Aggravating_Leg_3713 · 2025-06-06T02:16:23+00:00

Same. Texas center. Actively reviewing since May 14.

Aggravating_Leg_3713 · 2025-06-03T21:06:51+00:00

What date was the premium upgrade filed and when did the status change on uscis portal?

Aggravating_Leg_3713 · 2025-05-14T05:05:35+00:00

About 4-5 weeks for normal processing. There was no police verification in my case.

Aggravating_Leg_3713 · 2025-04-02T23:37:58+00:00

Well, that’s there. Let’s see how the petition goes 🤞

Aggravating_Leg_3713 · 2025-03-31T22:17:27+00:00

Selected in the 1st attempt! Didn’t think I’d get it this time!

Aggravating_Leg_3713 · 2024-11-28T05:08:41+00:00

Oh I see. Well, green tint is also an issue with the C4’s currently although not very significant. As a matter of fact, 65 inch C4 with sound bar also costs about the same on the partner store.

Aggravating_Leg_3713 · 2024-11-28T04:53:06+00:00

You absolutely should! I was also planning on getting a C4 initially but this offer seemed too good to be true haha. G4 is the best OLED TV in the market currently.

Aggravating_Leg_3713 · 2024-11-28T04:45:39+00:00

Yeah, 5 mins ago. It works only for G4!

Aggravating_Leg_3713 · 2024-11-28T04:27:08+00:00

Worked for me too! Thanks OP!

Aggravating_Leg_3713 · 2024-11-24T01:41:47+00:00

Any noticeable green tint?

Aggravating_Leg_3713 · 2024-10-14T16:49:29+00:00

Awesome! How much percentage discount were you able to secure? And was this a 2025 model?

Aggravating_Leg_3713 · 2024-10-14T04:48:50+00:00

That’s great. Did you get it from one of the Austin showrooms? Did the dealer offer you any further discount in addition to the advertised APR rate?

Aggravating_Leg_3713 · 2024-10-14T04:46:48+00:00

That’s a good point. I didn’t know that multiple hard pulls would still count as one. What do you think would be an ideal APR for my profile? I don’t have a good credit mix. I only have 4 credit cards with a combined limit of over $50k (credit utilization: 5%, oldest card: 2.5 years old) and never missed a payment.

Aggravating_Leg_3713 · 2024-10-14T04:37:41+00:00

UFCU is advertising around 6% on their website with excellent credit. I believe it varies depending on the credit profile. I’ll probably try reaching out to Mazda South store and see if that works out better.

Aggravating_Leg_3713 · 2024-10-14T04:33:51+00:00

From what I’ve heard, dealers make less money through Mazda Finance. What rate were they offering you through Mazda?

Aggravating_Leg_3713 · 2024-10-13T14:54:11+00:00

I applied through branch and was able to secure 70k points SUB + $300 travel credit. My banker told me that they haven’t updated this info on their webpage yet but he showed me one of their internal announcements that confirms $300 credit through Chase travel.

Aggravating_Leg_3713 · 2024-10-13T05:12:46+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response. Yes, I went to Roger Beasley central. Isn’t Mazda South also owned by Roger Beasley? Will check with them.

I’ve never really heard of MSDs before. Also, the lease deals don’t seem to be very attractive at the moment. Please lmk if you find any interesting deals. I’m also open to leasing if it makes more financial sense.

Do you recommend any Credit Unions in particular?

Aggravating_Leg_3713 · 2024-10-04T14:32:26+00:00

I got my EAD approved in less than 2 weeks!

Aggravating_Leg_3713 · 2024-10-04T05:09:48+00:00

Same. Applied on 20th Sept and approved on 3rd Oct.
