I have a valid H1B and my new employer will be initiating a H1B transfer using regular process. I am worried if its risky to start working without the USCIS receipt . Please advice.
My new employer says i can start working once i receive FEDEX/UPS delivery confirmation of the H1B transfer documents to USCIS
Answer
A person can start working as soon as the case is filed (received) by USCIS. However, most people like to be cautious & wait for the Receipt Norice, which could take a couple of weeks to generate.
Also, keep in mind that if for some reason the H-1B "transfer" is denied, then you may face an unlawful presence issue. Thus, some companies prefer to premium process the I-129 & wait for the petiton to be approved before the foreign worker begins employment with the new company.
