H1 B Regular process time

[TVS999]

H1 B Transfer in Regular  applied on  15 Aug 2017. its not yer approved, but due to some emergency, travelling to India. 

Attorney said that,I can travel but I have to come after H1 B approved only.  Attorney suggested not go for Premium because many of the premium case going to RFE status now. 

Let me know if any body applied around July/Aug 2017, got approval ? In general what is processing time, when can I expect approval. without approval I can't travel back to US. 

 

Thanks in advance.

I have applied for transfer on 1 June 2017. Received rfe on 11th Aug. Responded to the rfe on 17th Oct. Status is still "received response". Center is California. Not sure of the processing time. But go to know that they usually respond within 60 days.

You should think of upgrading it to premium.

I already asked my HR, they said converting to premium fall into rfe again, instead if we wait for another months, there are chances for approval. Not sure have to wait or go for premium.
