Difference between getting a petition and filing the petition

[Sam8055]

Hi,

        I got a FTE recently and the client applied for LCA which is certified. When asked about the H1 transfer process what they said was: "We will be getting your petition this week and will be filing the transfer next week". What does that mean? Usually during full time roles is there any other process which goes on between LCA certification and H1 Transfer initiation?

It is the same for every H1.

They are preparing your documents this week and then filing it next week.

preparing my documents?  Is it something other than the regular documents like passport, visa copies, I797 etc. Because, till date they did not email me asking for my documents and I did not send them any. @lajjagupta
