Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

I work for a consultancy who is my employer. My end-client has a preferred vendor who has a contract with my consultancy. So, it is consultancy -> vendor -> end-client.

History:

H1B extension was filed in June (premium processing).

RFE was sent at the beginning of August.

RFE was responded to by mid-August.

Denial was received at the end of August. ("Employer-employee relationship")

Left the country mid-September.

MTR was filed last week of September by the consultancy's attorney.

How long does it take to get a decision for the MTR? What are the chances of getting the H1B extension?

Chances are not very good. However, you shall consult your attorney for a specific advice.

You might be better off looking for a new employer who can file a new H1B petition where you are directly employed by a petitioning employer.
