Seattle Immigration FAQ
Is the H-1B RFE rate high for major Seattle employers?
H-1Bs sponsored by Amazon, Microsoft, and similar companies typically see lower RFE rates due to company size and salary levels. However, overall USCIS scrutiny has increased, so thorough preparation is still recommended.
Are Washington State's immigration policies favorable for applicants?
Washington State is generally immigration-friendly, with no state income tax as a major advantage. Seattle's local government welcomes international talent, and the local USCIS office operates with relatively good efficiency.
How do I handle my H-1B when switching between Seattle tech companies?
H-1B Transfer allows you to begin working for your new employer once the petition is filed, without waiting for approval. We've handled numerous transfers between Seattle tech companies for a seamless transition.
