H1B 2018 – Approval and RFE breakup for WAC181955 – June 7 2018 cases

In continuation with the previous WAC182005**** analysis we are publishing the data for WAC181955**** , most of the cases are filed on June 7 2018.

Moving from end of May to June clearly shows changes in the RFE scenario. it seems to be improving gradually for the better. Whether the federal lawsuit against uscis is having effect on these changes is still not clear.
