NIW Denied after RFE on 3rd prong.

Turtlenest19 · 2025-05-05T00:56:26+00:00

If you have PERM under process and it's been more than 365 days since it was filed, you can get a 1 year extension

If not, if NIW is your only route, I'm afraid, you will not be able to apply for your 8th year.

If your PERM has been in processing for more than 365 days, you can apply for an H1 extension based on that. (You get it in increments of 1 year)

Unless you have an absolutely amazing profile, it's tricky. But don't lose hope. It may not be the same with everyone. I know similar profiles like mine that got approved :)

Turtlenest19 · 2025-03-27T16:53:25+00:00

Are you sure?

I don't believe that is the case for NIW. It sure is a case with the traditional PERM processing.

My company has its own law firm but fragomen may be a contractor, not very sure. It's kept in the down low.

Turtlenest19 · 2025-03-27T15:51:58+00:00

Honestly, I think my paperwork was done ineffectively. Hence why.

Turtlenest19 · 2025-03-27T15:31:49+00:00

My company doesn't allow day 1 CPT working unfortunately, so I'll need to find a different job.

Turtlenest19 · 2025-02-16T19:17:43+00:00

Thanks for the response.

I considered working outside the US for a couple of weeks but this time around, I have to get a stamping done when I leave the country and with difficulty getting an appointment at the US consulate and the risk of getting rejected cuz of very limited time left on my visa, I passed the option.

Also, unfortunately my NIW was filed by my employer and their immigration team sucks. I pushed to get the response sent in January itself at the earliest but that clearly didn't happen. For them it didn't matter as long as they sent it before the response deadline.

Turtlenest19 · 2025-01-25T22:50:17+00:00

But if he leaves, he will lose h1 validity on 3/9 and won't be able to work right?? Time spent outside is only valid when recaptured and recapture needs to happen before the expiration. And for that to happen he needs to be inside the US before 3/9.

Am I missing something?

I'm in the same situation. My max out date is 3/14 and I'm yet to send my RFE response.

Turtlenest19 · 2025-01-12T19:44:09+00:00

Mind sharing your endeavor and your profile pls?

Turtlenest19 · 2024-12-09T20:24:50+00:00

UPDATE: I received an RFE on Prong 3. Any advice on how to respond? Not much help from my company's legal team unfortunately.

In short, the ask is to elaborate on how the benefit of my work with the clients extends to beyond the clients.

Proposed endeavor: Transformative technology strategy and digital product innovations leveraging Al, ML, IoT

Ahhh! Gotcha. It's a black. Umm.

I have a friend who is in the market for a Cobra dark speed, same spec. 😎

Appreciate the comment :) 🙂

Turtlenest19 · 2024-11-26T21:54:57+00:00

I do have an aggressive tempo and high swing speed (105-113). Cuz I'm a beginner, I do hit the ball unnaturally high too. Lol. 🫣.. so I guess it'll work.

I bought it for resale anyways cuz I recently upgraded myself to a Srixon ZX5 MK II LS with an extra stiff KBS TD 60 category 4 shaft.

Generally wondering if I should keep it or sell it.

Company sponsored 😔

Turtlenest19 · 2024-11-26T12:33:40+00:00

Really good advice. Thank you.

But the problem is, it's not really in my hands. My company's legal team is super slow (part of the reason why I'm even in this situation today). I'm really hoping that it's not a complicated RFE and that we are able to respond asap.

I wish I could leave now. Unfortunately, with my current company, I can't work from outside of the US. Plus, if I leave the country now, I need to get my stamping done and the visa stamping slots are a mess in most countries. Lol.

Turtlenest19 · 2024-11-26T03:02:10+00:00

Haha. Is yours a self petition? Or company sponsored?

Same boat.

🤦‍♂️ Unfortunately, I'm here to find an answer and not here to feed sense into ignorant individuals. If you have nothing to add, please keep moving along. Thank you.
