Does the approved PERM and i-140 have a positive effect on H1b application?

[markis lorenzo]

i have an approved PERM and I-140 also GC application in progress, my H1B has been picked up in the lottery for 2019 cap and i received an RFE, my question is Does the approved PERM and i-140 have a positive effect on H1b application? TIA

It has no effect. the H1-B petition will stand on its own merits. The answer to the RFE will have nothing to do with Labor Certification process.
