Hi, thanks a lot for your help thus far!
I am still dealing with H1B issues from 2016. I had to change my position & location within the company (same employer) in Sep, 2016. My H1B petition had been selected in the lottery by then and I was working on OPT that had been extended till Sep 30. My H1B petition was filed in Change of Status. I started the new role in Sep, 2016 and I have mostly been in training since then. The HR/lawyers took their time and USCIS received the petition for amendment & extension in mid-Dec, 2016 in premium processing.
USCIS has issued an RFE to explain how I maintained my status with regards to the previous petition. Specifically they have asked how my paystubs show office B (in city B) while I was approved to work in office A (in city A).
What are my options right now? Since I still do not have an H1B visa (I believe I only have H1B status), the outcome impacts my H1B visa and legality of stay for almost 3 months. I am very worried. Could you please let me know how serious this RFE is and what are my options to position myself for maintenance of status?
Thanks!
