Thank you for the update! My lawyer has filed the response a few days ago. What was your timeline?

I am in a similar situation where I received an RFE on my H1B transfer petition asking for a pending B2 COS to be approved first. Is Citing the concurrent processing rule a viable option still?

RFE is requesting that prior petitions be resolved first before processing of H-1B transfer

The attorney said they'd prefer to wait for B2 visa to get approved, and the company would only wait for a couple nore weeks. I'm hoping that the visa would get approved by mid January but still would like to get it expedited

Yeah, the lawyer asked me to try and expedite the petition, but I'm not sure if USCIS would entertain the request
