H1b extension approved

[Amrita]

Posting as it might help others . 

I applied for extension on feb 5 th and got speciality occupation rfe on 7 th feb . Had email conversation with Manager but didn’t had client letter as federal client . EVVC , MS in CS , Level 2 wage and SOC code 15-1132 . Designation in company Senior Application Developer and client designation Application Tech Lead . Query was to justify why that position need a degree in computer science and how it qualifies for speciality occupation. 

We cannot get a single document from client so I insisted to file new petition and not answer that RFE. My employer was resisting for new petition but I had a rough argument and asked him to file new petition as I do not have i94 validity to open MTR  if my application is denied .

 Lawyer said there is risk involved in answering speciality occupation but can go with new petition if I insist . Fortunately query time lo client name changed with acquisition so material change kuda petti filed new petition . Actually this route is not needed as lca lo client name undadu so not really material change but new petition Kosam new lca chesam . I took risk regardless though lawyer said previous petition mida question ravachu why we didn’t answer rfe ani but went ahead as I thought i94 validity lekunda denial would be more trouble .  Same documents malla pettamu. Applied on 25 th April approved today  in Vermont center . Just posting as it will be helpful for people who are going through same situation.  New petition is not a bad idea instead of answering rfe if you are ready to pay twice . I went ahead this route as query padi answer chesina vallavi 3 denials ayyayi in my close circle . 

Update : Approved for 3 years . Just got email from lawyer .
