Hello,
I am currently in the US on a H1B visa and my wife lives with me on a H4 visa. Both our visas and I 94 expires on Jan 31, 2016. My currently employer (Employer A) has filed for visa extension for both my H1B and my wife's H4 and the case is currently pending USCIS decision. I have received the receipt number for both(H1B and H4).
Meanwhile I got an offer from another employer (Employer B) and the employer filed the H1B transfer under premium processing and I have received the approval notice through email. I have few questions surrounding this scenario.
1) I understand that I can start working for the new employer (Employer B) as soon as I get the approval notice of H1B transfer with USCIS. Would it be a good idea to join Employer B now or do I wait till I get the hard copy of the H1B transfer?
2) The new employer (Employer B) have applied the H4 extension for my wife. I don't have the receipt number to check the status. Since her current I 94 expires on Jan 31, 2016, will there be a problem if I join the new company?
Appreciate your responses in advance. I am looking to get an answer ASAP since this decides my career move and other financial plans.
Thanks
