Tell them it is a matter of two weeks. Wait or GTFO and yes, share TC offered or GTFO

Get sick until approval 🤣 On a serious note claim you wanna leave current company on good terms and wanna finish up on your current work.

When should I say that? When they file or when I get receipt? Also how will I know the transfer is approved? Will I get any information or only company will get?

If you have recipt number you can check on USCIS website and register for text/email alerts on status

Don’t take the risk Tata. Don’t join on receipt.

Let them file and give you receipt number, then ask them to wait for 2 more weeks for approval (if filed in PP). Once you have receipt number, you can check status in USCIS website. Also do u know which Attorney/Legal company that assists Discover ?
