RFE means ???

Here u go max909..


An RFE, is a request, issued by an adjudicating immigration officer, for the
applicant or petitioner to provide initial or additional evidence in
support of an application or petition. RFEs usually are in writing and
request missing documentary evidence. The documentary evidence
requested may consist of basic documents that were specified in the
application/petition forms and/or instructions but which were not
submitted by the applicant or petitioner. The RFE may also be a request
for original documents or proper translations, or for other documents
not specifically identified in the form's instructions but determined
by the adjudicator to be relevant to the adjudication of the
application/petition.

2 H1B applications - URGENT!!

Hello everyone,
I am in a unique situation and need your urgent advice!
I have done my masters in Chemical engineering in the US. My OPT is already over. I have about 1 year of experience in computers and based on that I got a job in a software company(Company1).
Company1 has applied for my H1 and I have got RFE on how my education is
related to the job. Though my employer is confident that H1 will get approved, I am extremely worried about it.

Recently, I got another job in company2 which is also a software company but the position requires chemical engineering experience. Company2 is also willing to sponsor my H1. I feel that chances of getting approval from company2 H1 are good as they have employed several people with similar backgrounds as mine.

My question is can I apply for another H1 from Company2 while my H1 fom Company1 is pending? As I mentioned, my OPT is already over and I am staying in the US only because my H1 from Company1 is pending.

I would really appreciate any help. The lawyers are not giving me straight answers.

Thanks
patkt

Hi All,
I got my status updated today requesting additional evidence or information in my case :confused: I have talked to my clients and they said they have already received the correspondence and submitted the docs. No idea how long its gonna take for case to be approved.
Any insights on this will be a great help. Thanks in advance.
Happy waiting.
