Frankly, premium processing is abused. I recently switched jobs and just needed a transfer application acknowledgement to start the new job, however, the company offered to pay for premium processing and I gladly took it.

Honestly, they should raise the prices to $5000 with exceptions for financial hardships(they already have this) to weed out non-essential usage of premium processing.

There is nothing called H1b transfer. It's a brand new application with some extra features like no lottery, no wait-till-Oct1, etc.

IMO, all H1b fees should be increased by $5000 and processed in 15 days.
