H1b trasfer without hardcopy of Receip Notice(I-797C) and Approval (I-797B)

[sapnareddy]

I have recently transfered my H1 from Company A to Company B. I have all the paystubs with Company B. My employer gave me my Receipt Number(EAC number) which is printed behind the cheque. However they told me that the actual hard copy of the Receipt number is lost in transit. Meanwhile I got a good offer from Company C, so I am planning to transfer my H1 to Company C.
My question is:

1. Can I transfer my H1 to Company C with my Receipt number(not hard copy just the number) and my paystubs?

2. I haven't received hard copies of my approval(I-797B) and even receipt number (I-797C). In this scenario can I transfer my H1 to Company C? What consequences I have to face if I transfer it with just the paystubs and receipt number(no hard copy)?

It is possible if you are sure that is your receipt number. Employers have started this "lost in mail" reason lately to prevent attrition. If it is lost in the mail and you don't have the approval notice, you are not supposed to be employed by them.

In short, your employer is a scumbag. Ensure it is your receipt number by asking for a copy of the check.

Urgent,Please advise

My sponsor says..he lost my H1B approval original document. But provided with the I797C document copy.

I would like to transfer my visa from the company A (who lost my Original) to Company B where I'm currently working.

Please advise if I can file transfer with copy of I 797C document and I also have all my pay-stubs

Thanks& Regards.

All that you need for the transfer to go through is the receipt number to prove that you are already CAP counted.
