这段曲折的经历希望一亩的网友们都不会遇到。趁现在还有印象,尽可能留下多的资料以供大家参考。

时间线:
9/13/2019 中秋节被雷,公司没钱了,做不下去,忽然被炒,当即生效,老板并且告知会给USCIS上报我被辞退的消息,不预留任何缓冲时间。意味着我的grace period 从9/16/2019开始算起,因为我最后一次的paystub是9/1-9/15.
11/10/2019 递表I-539境内转B2
12/17/2019 新东家正式offer. Χ
12/23/2019 新东家签合同
1/7/2020 办理LCA
1/14/2020 LCA certified
1/23/2020 递表I-129,办理加急,并且要求境内extend stay没有选择cp. From 1point 3acres bbs
2/13/2020 B2批准有效期到5/3/2020. 1point 3acres
2/3/2020 RFE (RFE关于: employer-employee relationship, recaptured time, maintenance of status)
2/20/2020 RFE responded
3/5/2020  NOID (wording on case status: We mailed you a notice informing you of the action we intend to take on your case. please follow the instructions in the notice and submit any requested materials.)
3/19/2020  NOID fax才收到!(各位要是办理了加急,无论是rfe/ noid都可以要求律师赶紧联系加急部门要求fax的,我是和加急的工作人员联系了两天才找到一个对头的给回复说必须律师才能申请fax,然后律师才不紧不慢的跟他们申请传真。NOID的回复天数只有33天,所以脚步得加紧。)
4/9/2020 NOID  responded
4/13/2020 case approved. 1point 3 acres

经历了这么曲折的h1b transfer,真的如各大网友所说不可能假手给律师。我这次的律师已经给我办case好多年了,之前一路都是顺利批准,没有rfe过,所以这回申请拿到rfe我也就相信她没有要求看律师写的petition letter检查各项细节,但rfe后再来一个noid我就坐不住了,回复noid时我就要求她给我看她写的petition letter,那惨况简直是屎一样的存在,下面会慢慢说。

EMPLOYER-EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIP
移民局怀疑我们公司是consulting/皮包公司,所以当初看了各大网友的建议,我就让经理准备了去年税表,公司图片,公司的brochure,公司的租约,网/电费单,培训资料,签订的合同,并且经理也准备了一个4页纸的信详细解释了公司业务情况。当初想着这么详细应该够了吧,但USCIS第二回还是捉着我们这点不放。。。具体noid回复的情况往后解释

RECAPTURED TIME
具体做了如下两个表格(例子),说明我有多少天时间不在美国境内可以recapture的。并且打印了以前所有出境机票& CPB I-94记录。.google  и

NOID. From 1point 3acres bbs
SPECIALTY OCCUPATION.google  и
关于这部分网友们的建议都非常有用,我也借鉴了很多有用的点,提供了:
1.        OOH 关于会计需要会计本科的网页资料

2.        专家信和他的LinkedIn简历,刚好我认识的一个上市公司副总裁跟我去的公司同行业,所以拜托他能否给我背书。我是先自己起稿,然后发给他看有啥需要修改,然后他签字email给我,具体专家信段落内容:
  • a.        The purpose to write the letter – to support my h1b petition and this is a specialty occupation.
  • b.        His current position. A brief introduction about his company.
  • c.        The experience and education degree of the expert. Years of c-suite experience at different company. His CPA certification. He has a bachelor degree in accounting.
  • d.        The necessity of a bachelor degree in accounting for a position with senior accountant.
  • e.        How the expert got to know me and his approval of my qualification to be a senior accountant. Plus he mentioned “This is a complex and important role in any company and required a large amount of specialized knowledge.”

3.        同行业的招聘广告,我找了规模比我现在公司稍大,同类型的招聘职位,并且只用招会计本科的,其他一律不考虑/提供。


4.        公司的org chart,并且把各人的学历标注,比较好的一点是我们公司的同事都是硕士会计毕业,所以这点比较好证明。

5.        我经理的简历&州注册的CPA资料 . 1point 3 acres


6.        同职位同事的简历&他的paystub


7.        详细的JD,这是我其中一个具体JD结合课程,和如何应用到实际工作中的描述。心得是必须要详细,analyze必须要说用啥会计知识点/方程式,或者工具软件来分析,得出啥样的工作成品,有什么用,给谁用。 .--
Job Duty 8 - Provide industry specific accounting services through reporting on the health of the network’s assets with semi-annual ASC 820 valuations (by FASB, Fair Value Measurement). (5% of weekly work hour). 1point 3 acres
Relevant Courses & Content
OPRE 6301 Quantitative Introduction to Risk and Uncertainty in Business: focuses on statistical and probabilistic methods and theory applicable to situations faced by managers. Topics include data presentation and summarization, fundamental probability theory and random variables, estimation, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing.
AIM 6332 Intermediate Accounting II: specific topic on applying fair value options in accordance with GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) rule with respect to the company's investment assets and appropriate classifications of gross realized and unrealized holding gains/ loss on financial statement presentations.
Service & Skills . Χ
Our company evaluates investment portfolios at fair market value and review its changes semi-annually. The process to apply fair value measurement in accordance with GAAP is very technical. The key to this job duty is to correctly appraise asset value. OPRE 6301 discussed different valuation models that we also adopt for appraisal purpose. The beneficiary could (1) build and evaluate a regression model from raw data, (2) apply rules of probability and random variable, and (3) analyze significant changes of asset values at work. Within GAAP, ASC 820 is specifically relevant because it deals with accounting issues of investment assets valuation. Topic of fair value option for investment instrument (ASC 820) was covered in AIM 6332. By finishing this course, she is able to apply GAAP reporting standard of fair value changes, conduct income/ market/ asset approach for measurement, and perform a goodwill impairment test when the investment asset’s book value exceeds market value. She will report the fair value analysis to the management, so they could determine how to allocate fair value to various investment asset classes.-baidu 1point3acres

8.        Work sample – 这回我提供了对应其中4个工作jd的12个样本,每个jd相关的样本集中在一起有一个cover 分别解释每个样本是有啥作用。我把这个cover尽量控制在3段落,不要太长,把详细的作用解释出来就是了。Cover 实例如下:

Work products Entity Set-up Roadmap (Doc 10), Chart of Accounts for Balance Sheet (Doc 11) and Income Statement (Doc 12) relates to
Job Duty 6 - Establish chart of accounts and assign entries to proper accounts.  

The roadmap is a high-level planning created by the senior accountant. It depicts the nature of business – commercial real estate leasing. The chart of accounts will be tailored to the roadmap. .--
When establishing the chart of accounts, she will consider GAAP rule and tax implications. For example, a commercial real estate includes CAM (common area management) receivables account that is unique in the business. The IRS requires lease commissions to be capitalized and amortized over the length of lease.  . ----
The chart will serve as a manual, and direct accounting clerk to post journal entries to correct accounts for all transactions.

EMPLOYER-EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIP
移民局再特么怀疑我们是中介公司,通知上说我们根本没有合理的雇佣关系存在,我就吐血了!同样的经理这回也是准备了7页纸的信件回复,非常给力,另外再多拍了好多照片,并且提供了project list。但后来发现,律师的回复其实是我第一次rfe没有得到approve一个很关键的点,以至于后来我自己动手写律师的petition letter!

律师给我准备的petition letter关于这个疑点就回复了下面短短几句。难怪被之前的rfe 不通过。她的信稿子如下:
Dear Officer,.--
This is respectfully submitted in response to the NOID dated on March 05, 2020.
Specifically the evidence submitted will provide documents to address the following main issues
raised in the NOID:
Employer-Employee Relationship
1. Letter from the employer to establish the employer-employee relationship
2. Company form 940
3. Company health insurance plan for its employees
4. Company 401(k) plan. Waral dи,

我们一共给了移民局200多页的资料,啥都不解释就丢给他们一堆材料,难怪移民官会质疑甚至不批!各位尽可能让律师给你们看究竟他们的信是咋写的!因为这作用非常大,是通过律师的信把我们提供的资料串连起来,因为移民官不会慢慢研究每个doc是什么,所以我们就必须得解释出来各个文档的作用是回复哪个问题用到的,这样就方便他们审核我们的材料以免他们嫌烦不看资料就deny。还有必须得把关好律师组织的exhibit list,因为我就发现我律师给排序的材料非常混乱,有些还重复写出来,有些重要的就漏掉!
.
具体回复雇佣关系我就直接copy我起稿的律师信如下,说明哪个exhibit是回复移民局大官们的哪个疑点,并且指明官员们你应该看我们提供的exhibit中的哪一页,哪个paragraph,还有如果雇主信有某些点你是觉得很重要,也必须引用出来给移民官知道,生怕他们看错。 . Χ

The training was held at the Petitioner’s office. The Beneficiary was invited to call in and take part in the Petitioner’s internal training.

这回提交的材料我是交叉运用到employer-employee relationship & so两部分的,只要在回复中指明给移民官对于某个疑点你该去看哪个exhibit并清楚写明你该怎么看,这文件有啥用,或者有哪个重点你需要知道都清清楚楚给他们写出来。

经历了这7个月,非常感谢在一亩三分地认识到的网友,他们给我的帮助十分大,也认识到一位非常体贴的西雅图妹子,她对于我work product能提供什么文档或许有效,还有jd怎么展开写给了很多建议我。非常感激她!希望各位都能顺利拿到offer顺利办理h1b!

很有用的信息。谢谢楼主。我咨询了公司律师。公司律师在这个问题上也没说清楚。得再问问。谢谢啊。祝楼主 ...

我有一个朋友是以B2入境美国,b2有效期到3/8过期,他的新东家3/2给他申请了h1的petition,他律师建议他不要申请b2延期,而是在h1的申请里跟移民官说考虑到目前疫情情况,请移民局通融直接境内转,即使h1通过的时候必定是在b2过后才可能的事情。然后移民局也允许了,可以直接境内转。
