My H1B transfer and 7th year extension approval notice just came through.
They gave me one month extension, and a transfer to my new company. the 7th year extension was denied.
The facts:
I filed for H1B transfer and 7th year extension based on my previously approved Labor Cert filed over 365 days earlier. Filing was premium processing, and done on Dec 31.
This sucks. Everyone (including my lawyers) told me this was standard procedure. I know LCs were expiring on Jan 12th, but every time I asked about this, I was told as long as the filing was done before then, I'd be okay. Had I been warned of the risks, I could have filed I-140 a long time ago with my current company.
