[oLone]

Hi ,

Need info here..

My new Employer B is filling for my h1b transfer in normal processing due to some reasons and now and they want me to join next day when they submit applcaition to USCIS. Reciept will take almost 2 to 3 weeks to come to employer . Now my question is in order to join shall i wait for reciept or or i can join next day they submitss application to uscis as they are saying.

Also are there any risks involved at receipt level?? please advise if there is any thing i need to be care full about??

Thanks in advance.??

Its safer side to join once you receive receipt, however, you can also join 1-2 days after H1B package is delivered to USCIS.

I always suggest to process the H1b transfer in PP, and join the new employer only ‘after approval’. This makes your life a lot easier. If employer doesn't pay for PP, you can pay it too. These days h1bs are getting weird RFEs, doesn’t matter its FT or consulting.

Back to case, people join the employer even just after filing, as Sameer said. But, I don't know legality behind this.
