H1B transfer to new employer

[parimal59]

Hi,

I am working with company 'A' and got an offer from company 'B'. submitted my resignation from company A, currently serving notice period of 2 weeks, last date is 21st Nov. Company B has already applied for the H1B transfer and currently with USCIS but didn't receive the receipt number yet but they told I will get it soon. My joining date in company B is on 24th Nov.

I am negotiating with another company 'C' and would like to join C if i get that. But apparently it will only be confirmed after 24th Nov (after last day in current company A).

Q1. After I join company B on 24th Nov, Can company C initiate H1B transfer, since i will be having only H1B transfer receipt from company B during this period not an approved petition.

Any other suggestion to deal with this situation will be very helpful.

Thanks.

Read around for "bridge petition"

This is my opinion not legal advice.
