My H1B transfer was filed on Jan 18th. My last day with the previous employer was Jan 20th. My first day with the new employer is today, Jan 23rd.
According to Master pjiang, I am OK to work for the new employer now. However, when I filled the I-9 form today, I was asked to provide the legal document for work authorization. Based on the I-9 form instructions, I should provide I-94.
So here I'm confused. Since my petition was just filed, I don't have an approved I-94 for the new employer. Should I just provide the I-94 for the previous employer? The HR seems not sure too.
Can Masters help me out? If I-94 for the previous employer is the right document to provide, how would it work? Isn't I-94 bounding with the specific company? Isn't it invalidated instantly after the termination of the employment? Using I-94 from A to work for B seems weird.
Thanks a lot!
