H1B Transfer awaiting receipt!

Registered Users (C)
I am currently working for Company A and Company B, who is ready to employ me has filed for the transfer of H1B. The lawyer states that I should wait to join Company B till they get a receipt from INS that the application is received.

Can I start working for Company B without having the receipt, is there a legal problem? The recipt may take upto a month to be recieved.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
