| Additional Info | I am an orthopedic surgeon. My J1 waiver got approved for one state for DOS and then by USCIS. However, I could not get license in that state (internal political issues). Now, I have got j1 waiver job from 2nd state. H1b applied by second employer in premium processing with proof of extenuating circumstances. USCIS asking for RFE –need copy of I797 relating to grant of H1b status. I am applying for H1b for the first time. I have never applied for H1b for first state as I did not get the job. USCIS also asked for other documents which have already been submitted. I am not sure whether USCIS officer did not understand my case of RFE is equivalent for Intent to deny from their side. |
| H1B Visa Applying experience: | I am not sure whether USCIS did not review my case or RFE is as good as intent to deny for me. |
