Is H1b petition denial a serious issue?

[kalyankpaladugula24]

Hi,

My girlfriend got an RFE for her H1b last year. Her petition got denied as her employer submitted wrong SOC (occupation) code in the supporting documentation.

If I marry her and get her here, will her H1b petition denial affect

a. Her new H1b petition
b. I140 (joint)
c. Her individual I140.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Yes, H1B petition denial can be serious, especially if someone’s status or job depends on it. It’s always best to consult an immigration attorney for proper guidance
