Usually you get the receipt within 7-10 days of filing the petition.

Stay idle during transfer

Hi
Thanks for the reply. does the transfer process affect if i stay idle until i get the receipt..?Will they doing any background check..?

It won't affect your filed petition (Unless there is an RFE for the very latest pay slip). However, you should be working with your previous employer until you get the transfer receipt number. When you are in H1B, you need to be working and get paid.

Until you get your transfer receipt, you cannot work for the new employer. No one can predict what will happen to the transfer. That depends on the documents submitted to USCIS.

Hi

Did you get your receipt and how much time it took to get the receipt. Best of luck with your H1 transfer.
