RFE for H1B Specialty Occupation - How to respond?

Replied to: H1B Transfer Timeline with Premium Processing - Oct 2025

Congrats on the quick approval! 11 business days with premium is great. Was Fragomen expensive? I'm considering a transfer too and trying to budget for it.

Don't panic! These RFEs are very winnable. The key is being over-prepared. I've helped colleagues through 3 of these RFEs and all were approved. Your attorney should know how to handle this.

$5,000 for RFE response seems reasonable. Some cases I've seen cost more when extensive expert letters and documentation are needed. The good news is that specialty occupation RFEs are very winnable with the right approach. Your documentation strategy sounds solid!

The expert opinion letter is clutch. For anyone reading this - don't cheap out on this. Pay the $1,000-2,000 for a good professor who actually understands immigration law requirements. The letter should: 1. Explain why the specific job duties require a specific degree 2. Include the professor's credentials 3. Reference industry standards 4. Be at least 5-10 pages with detailed analysis
