Hi Guys, I recently applied for a J1 waiver transfer as The Satellite clinic of the previous Group practice( Employer A ) where I was working full time since Jan 2008, was being sold to a Local Group practice ( Employer B). The new employer B wanted to keep me at the same location. I was told ( by my attorney) that I can Transfer my J1 waiver , showing the extrenuating circumstances as ' The clinic was being closed" ans so we did apply for new H-1 through Emplyer B (with all the required documents and letter from my previous employer A that the Clinic is closing down)on August 1st 2008 and so started working under New employer from the same day at the same clinic ( I was told that once USCIS recieves the file for new H1 petition I can start working from the same day for the new employer and do not have to wait for the approval.).
Now , I recieved shocking update from USCIS they have sent a RFE letter today. I still havent recieved it , so do not know the actual reason.
my questions are.
1. I did not submit any letter from State health dept in my application, although they were aware of the transfer before I filed my new H-1 petition. Could this be the problem
2. I was just checking the MUA/HPSA location website , and my office location address is now only qualifying as HSPA but not as MUA. I was previously qualified as both MUA & HSPA. Could this be a problem for my RFE .
3. I f any body previously had similar experiences with RFE on j1 waiver transfer.. What other evidence would they usually ask for. ( I am getting paranoid , weekned just started and I cant wait for 4-5 days till I actually know exactly what the RFE is about)
I will greatly appreciate you prompt replies.
Thanks
