Urgent help needed!

I am on H1b

My manager said that on May 1st i would receive my final pay check. I have 10 days of vacation and so i requested that i get paid for ten more days. he said he would consider. ( if he considers, then i will get one more pay check on may 15th)

1. I also have asked him if he can give a bare minimum pay till i get an employer to transfer my H1. What should be the bare minimum pay that i need to get to convince that i am on the pay rolls of the company. ( so that i do not land up with problems when i send in details to transfer the h1 later) He said he will consider this option also.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanx
