      My question is let’s say in ideal scenario it is approved on August 1, 2018. Can I initiate the transfer immediately on August 2, 2018? Or do I need to wait until October 1 ,2018 ?

      Previous company can withdraw the application. Also as you actually were not in h1b status uscis can deny the transfer. Talk to lawyers.

    15 days for them to reply with a decision. It can be an rfe. No timeline for “approval”

    Or they can say they were not able to do it in 15d and reimburse
