Chances of #H1B approval after denial are quite good if you refile than appeal.

Examples of real life cases where H1B extension was approved after denial with specialty occupation.
Another case where refiling extension at Nebraska resulted in approval when California denied it.

Court case should be the last option.

How USCIS #H4EAD extension processing time of 6-8 months is forcing job losses.

Its unfair to allow filing EAD extension only before 180 days of expiry.

Going to court increases each EAD work permit cost to $4400.

Share it so that it reaches main stream media and USCIS ears.

Some #H4EAD expedite requests do get approved by USCIS.
Here is one example:

This is tax season in US and a common question asked by people buying house on #H1B visa.

We are seeing this new trend where US embassy is issuing #DS5535 after a delay of 4-5 months these days.
This is really strange and seems like another strategy to delay processing.

@immivoice has shared an #S386 update regarding negotiations with other Senators after Durbin Amendments. There r more amendments required to bring other senators on board like extending the phase out period from 3 year to 9 years.

Canada vs Australia PR. Both have high taxes, free public healthcare, lower salary than US, lower population. Canada is better for #H1B people in US due to time zone.

For People in US currently: With #S386 taking small steps, I still recommended to apply either Canada or Australia or both PR if you are in the age range of 36-40.

CEAC changed the form 221g status update from 'Administrative processing' to 'Refused' on March 3, 2020.

It has caused panic all over the world. There is NO need to worry.

https://www.am22tech.com/ceac-status-showing-refused-after-form-221g-admin-processing/

This is just a way to say your case is pending form 221g processing. Earlier, the status used to show 'Administrative processing' but, no now it is showing 'Refused'.

We have real #H1B cases from Chennai and Hyderabad embassy where passport was requested last week and still their case status changed to 'Refused' on March 3, 2020.

DO NOT WORRY.

Share this update with all your friends to keep their blood pressure in check.

Can #H1B work from home if employer closes office due to CoronaVirus? Will USCIS site visit be an issue?

Will #H1B employer terminate employment if employee gets CoronaVirus?

https://www.am22tech.com/h1b-work-from-home-coronavirus-travel/
My opinion:
The employment termination should not be done simply on the basis of H1B worker catching CoronaVirus.

You can use your employer group medical insurance to get treatment.

You will most probably be quarantined and would be placed under state provided medical screenings as the #CoronaVirus cases are under limelight.
Your visa status should not be affected and you can come back to work normally once you are cured.
