H1 B transfer

[mca]

What is the name of your state?

A company has filed premium processing of my H1B transfer 10 days
ago and still waiting for the the receipt notice/case no. Can I ask you
or do you have any idea how many days the receipt notice/case no.
will get out with premium processing? I am about to hand out my
resignation letter to my current employer but wary they might still
have an option to withdraw the petition(which by the way expires
2/2005) which will make my transfer application void.

Will the filing of a premium processing H1B Transfer by the new
employer is enough for me to decide to hand out my resignation
letter to my present employer even if the receipt notice/case no.
have not been given to me? My new employer wants me to start
first week of January 2005. I hope you can help me clear this thing
up. Thanks.

The safest thing would be to wait for the receipt notice before submitting your resignation letter as after the receipt notice, you can legally start working for the new employer. THe receipt notices usually come within 1-2 weeks after filing although the Premium Processing cases should notify you of receipt sooner. Check with the employer to make sure they did not receive notification by fax or email, as that is a common way to get the receipts for Premium Processing, if the right boxes are checked off on the Premium Processing submission form.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions or need further assistance with this matter.
