H1-B Transfer - Out of Status

[tax1]

Hello folks,

Currently I'm on H1b visa (direct employer type) and found out I will be let go on the 13th January; my last paycheck will have 13th Jan date.

I was just offered a new employment (direct employer) and they agreed to do the Visa transfer for me. So my question is, when can I start working with the new employer?

From my understanding, I won't be out of status until the 13th, and if the attorneys at new employer filed the transfer on or before 13th, I should be fine? Please advise

Thanks!

yes, if h1 transfer is filed before 13th then you are good.

Thanks sonline.

One more question, when can I start working? I've read numerous source its either:-

1. As soon as the application is received (fedex receipt)
2. Have to wait for the actual Receipt notice (USCIS receipt)
