Hi,

I'm in this awkward situation now. I have been working for Company A for about 6 months. I got an offer from another company (not a consulting company). I have provided all the required documents for H1 transfer to their attorney.
The attorney claims that I can start working for NEW company as they have submitted the documents for H1 transfer.

When asked about the receipt the attorney claims that I can start working right away to new company as the immigration law states that:

Submitting documents is enough and one does not require to wait for receipt.

Can anyone verify if the above statement is true?

Thanks in advance.
