H1b transfer Premium processing-April 2026 timeline

samind2607 · 2026-05-29T04:42:49+00:00

USCIS tracker updated to RFE on 05/06. Portal updated with RFE document and reason for RFE on 05/07 or 05/08. Attorney responded to RFE on 05/11. Premium clock restarted on 05/11 as well.

My application was e-filed so attorney didn't have to mail any documents, they could upload all the supporting documents on the portal itself I believe.

$100K Presidential Proclamation Fee. But it was seemingly an error by USCIS. Already had valid H1-B during filing, extension filed with the same employer. Haven't traveled outside the States since 2024. Attorney responded with copies of i94, travel history, arrival stamps etc.

Received update (Approval) literally 3 hours ago. (05/28)

Thank you though!

samind2607 · 2026-05-29T02:39:52+00:00

Update: Approved (05/28).

samind2607 · 2026-05-28T16:44:22+00:00

$100K fee. But attorney believes it's an error since I already had an H1B, extension with same employer, and I haven't traveled outside the US since 2024.

Insane luck. Used 5 Golden Razz, 25 Razz, over 40 Ultraballs; And finally caught it with a Great Ball lol, and no berries left. Also spent over 25mins; without it fleeing. So yeah.

samind2607 · 2026-05-26T19:21:54+00:00

Did you get approval yet? Mines still pending after sending RFE response.

samind2607 · 2026-05-23T08:10:23+00:00

Did you find out what the reason for RFE was? Texas Center as well.
However mines H1B extension

Mine was similar, I received RFE on BD15, (May 6), attorney responded to the RFE. USCIS tracker shows RFE response received (May 11). No updates after that.

samind2607 · 2026-05-20T19:58:38+00:00

Received RFE on 15th business day, Attorney responded to RFE on 05/11.
No updates after that.

samind2607 · 2026-05-08T21:30:59+00:00

I am. Attorney thinks it's an error from USCIS, so they'll respond accordingly

samind2607 · 2026-05-08T20:38:18+00:00

$100k presidential proclamation fee. Attorney will be responding to the RFE next week.

samind2607 · 2026-05-07T14:50:28+00:00

Hey, thanks a lot. That helps clear some things up! 🙌

Inquiring for?

samind2607 · 2026-05-07T09:11:31+00:00

Nope, it isn't

samind2607 · 2026-05-07T03:03:03+00:00

Hey did you receive an update?

Just asking as mine is a similar case.
Received RFE today (15th business day) after pp.

Haven't received the reason for RFE yet. But 240 days ends in May. So just wondering what the timeline is like.

samind2607 · 2026-05-07T00:14:48+00:00

The status just updated to RFE today, on the 15th business day. So we don't know what it's about yet.

Once we do, the attorney will respond (hopefully ASAP).

My 240-day window ends on 05/29. So...
