H1-B appeal

[vin_blue]

Hello,

I filed H1-B visa under premium processing in April 2012. I got an RFE (for client letters and other documents) by April end and responded back to it in May. On June 3rd, my H1-B got denied since we did not submit the client letter. Now, the client gave me the client letter and on July 27th, my attorney have filed I-290B, Motion to re-open/reconsider. My question is :

1. Any idea how long the appeal will take?

2. What is the process for Motion to Re-open / Re-consider?

3. Any idea what are the chances to get my H1-B approved?

I have moved back to India and am waiting for my H1. Please help me out if you have any pointers for appeal. I tried googling it and also searched in this forum but its bit confusing. Any help is much appreciated !

Thanks,

I am not being flippant. The H1 is filed by the sponsor. You have no stake. It would seem a tad silly to have filed with no client letters. But you may get lucky. I doubt it. You should be prepared for a filing again next year.

Yes, thats true. During my RFE, USCIS asked for client letter but the client was NOT ready to give one. They have given it once it got denied !!!!!! I don't have much hopes on my H1 but I don't want to wait indefinitely........
