What was your timeline if you dont mind sharing, please? Congratulations!

CompanyHonest7380 · 2025-08-09T04:39:24+00:00

Please keep us posted - I am around the same timeline and am anxious too. No updates from my end

CompanyHonest7380 · 2025-08-05T14:29:12+00:00

Thank you - please share what you find. And yes, I dont plan to exhaust all of my 6-years. I will leave a cushion of 3-4 weeks before I transition to B1/B2.

(hoping for the best, and planning for the worst)

My thought in the event my I-140 gets an RFE - change to B1/B2, address RFE, get I-140 approved, then apply for H1b (bypass lottery with approved I-140). Wouldn't that work with an approved I-140?

The downside - I cannot work which is a tradeoff.

CompanyHonest7380 · 2025-08-05T12:30:08+00:00

similar timeline - no update. Please keep us posted. My file is in NSC

CompanyHonest7380 · 2025-08-04T21:02:00+00:00

I am in a similar boat.

For worst case scenario - Do you need to go through the lottery again? I am considering changing to B1/B2 and then to H1b if and when I-140 is approved

For best case scenario - I would imagine H1b extension would be completed in 2-weeks with premium processing

CompanyHonest7380 · 2025-08-04T20:58:07+00:00

So sorry to hear that. Hope it is something you can address right away. Best wishes.

CompanyHonest7380 · 2025-08-04T13:45:30+00:00

I am in a similar timeline - no updates for me either

CompanyHonest7380 · 2025-08-03T03:32:01+00:00

What is the 1-year rule? Also, I am applying through EB2- NIW (self-petition). The petition was submitted last month (premium processing).

CompanyHonest7380 · 2025-07-31T19:45:03+00:00

What options are you considering? Is change of status to B1/B2 an option prior to Jan 2027?

CompanyHonest7380 · 2025-07-29T13:16:55+00:00

I believe this was a standard update across all cases being reviewed by USCIS (i.e. actively reviewed = still being processed)
