Legal Question in Immigration Law in New Jersey

Re: Paystubs required for H1 transfer

When transferring H-1B employers, the USCIS usually does request proof that you are currently working for your H-1B employer and thus are in status. If you have one pay stub or other proof that you are currently working for your H-1B employer you could try to use that as sufficient proof and then supplement it if you receive a request for evidence, or wait a few weeks until you get your next pay stub before trying to transfer H-1B employers. It is advisable to seek advice from a reputable immigration attorney when transferring H-1B employers or transferring to another status as you do not want to risk falling out of status.

Re: Paystubs required for H1 transfer

The requirement that one submit pay stubs is to prove that one has maintained status. If you only have a few weeks of pay stubs due to the short period of employment, this should be satisfactory.

Re: Paystubs required for H1 transfer

Paystubs are required to ensure that you were in valid H-1b status. I would say 2 paystubs is sufficient and probably the minimum. Possibly try to get paid on a bi-weekly basis to get more paystubs.

It is better to remain at the initial company for another month than get the H-1b transfer and possibly fall out of status.
