Solid approval at 30 hours a week
Part-Time Transfer
Background
The client applied for a part-time (30 hours per week) H-1B transfer at a time when USCIS was focusing closely on whether wage levels and actual working hours were reasonable.
Challenges
A poorly designed petition structure could very easily trigger an RFE or even a NOID.
Strategy
We headed off wage and hour risks in advance, refined the position design, and strengthened the match with the client's field.
Outcome
Approved outright with no RFE; under premium processing, the approval came in less than a week (filed 03/14 · approved 03/20, 2025).
