Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Hello,

Currently i m working in company A and I am transferring my h1b to the new company B .

1)Now from the company B I have my LCA approved

2) The h1b transfer is in process, the company has filed and it has only the Fedex confirmation , and yet to receive the WAC***** number from uscis

3) The company B had told me that I could start working for them , even before the receipt from USCIS and as the petitiion is already filed,

So can I work with other company after getting my LCA or

is it best to work after transfer receipt from USCIS as I was thinking if I start working for comapny B before receipt , there is a chance the petition may get denied and I would left without job from company A[as I would leave to work for company B ] and Company B .

Please provide your valuable suggestion so that I am in a safe side without any risk.

Please provide me your advise.

You may not work for company B unless it is approved by the immigration. As you noted, the request may be denied for whatever reason. Should that happen, you would be considered having violated the terms of your H1B visa. To be on the safe side, wait until it is approved.
