h1b petition

I am here on B1 visa .My US employer is ready to file my H1B under change of status

before i-94 expires.

QHow many days does INS require to send the filling receipt of I-129 petition?

Till I receive the receipt & my I-94 expires what proof do I need to keep with me ?

My US employer will FAX the receipt copy & will not give the oroginal.

Do I need to carry the the original receipt or a photocopy will be acceptable ?

During the petition decision period can I receive any money fm US employer ?

Re: h1b petition

The INS Service Center doesn't take too long to send a receipt acknowledging the filing of the H-1B petition. Probably within two weeks. A copy of the receipt is OK to carry around. In the meantime, as a tourist, you can't work for money from the employer until the H-1B is finally approved.
