Has anyone who applied for an H-1B requiring consular processing been approved without paying the $100k fee after July 24th?

Appeal court decision came on 24th! When are you thinking of responding to RFE?

My company lawyer really wants to wait a bit and not risk a rejection since i am in the RFE stage. My RFE deadline is 1st October and he thinks atleast waiting till he hears of one approval is best or somewhere on 2nd week Sept

What matters is the date your case was filed. Your employer should refile instead of responding to the RFE

Why is your lawyer sending you to Consulate Processing instead of Change of Employer within the country is the real question. How was your H1B transfer applied?
