H1 transfer receipt (Non Premium Processing)

[bombay707]

Hi,

I lost my job on 7th Nov 2008. On the same day I received the offer letter & my H1 transfer was applied by the new company. This new company goes by rules, so they are waiting for the H1 receipt. They have not applied H1 trasnfer in premium processing.

My questions are,

1.) What time is it taking to get a receipt by USICS? (NON Premium Processing - I’m in NY City - so probably Vermont Center)

2.) Do we have any rule in written (Official), that as soon u apply for transfer, without getting the receipt; you can work for the new employer?
(So I can show it to my new employer)

3.) Can I follow with USICS? Have they received my application for transfer? How to contact them? What reference should I give them, to find my application? (I don’t have tracking number - FedEx receipt)

4.) What is the time taken for the H1 Paper, to be delivered after receipt, by USICS?

Trust me this is so frustrating, U can’t join because of all this paper work.

Please respond ASAP.

NOTE: Also please let me know , when u had applied the same.
