When to resign from current job ?

[h1busybee]

Hi, 

 

I am currently working for Company A

and I got a job from Company B. 

 

Both are fortune companies.

 

Company B applied for H1B transfer through premium processing. The H1B transfer is approved and Company B's attorney received an email confirmation of the approval.

 

Hard copy of the approval is not yet received and USCIS online status is in "Decision" and not yet in "Post Decision Activity".

 

Question : Is the Approval Confirmation email sent to Company B's attorney good enough to resign from my current Company A??

 

Or do I need to wait for anything else?

 

Please let me know.

 

Thanks,

I would say wait for approval letter to reach you.

Rahul412, Did you mean that I can resign now? with just the approval email??? The previous poster jairichi has a different view. Do you think things might change even after getting the approval email. I heard the approval letter might take almost a week to reach me.

 

Let me know.

Rahul412 is right. You are allowed to work immediately after approval. If you are not in a hurry you could wait for approval letter. That is why I said after receiving approval letter

Things won't change once it is approved. Since you have a soft copy I think that should be enough for you to join the new employer without any status problems.

Hi,

 

Get the transfer process started with 2nd employer, get the receipt number and then resign from current employer to be on safe side.

 

Thanks.

Not sure about with the approval email. Wait for soft copy from attorney/employer or the hard copy of the approval notice.

 

Thanks.

Thanks.

Kindly do not advice anyone to resign based on receipt number. There are posts in this forum where they have resigned based on receipt number and got stranded as their H1B petition with new employer was denied.

Sorry about the wrong advise. Get the approval from the new employer and then only resign if you want.
