There is nothing called H1B transfer.  Sounds like you lost your job and you are in your 60-day grace period.  Usually, you will get the receipt in 2-5 days once USCIS receives your application.

60 days grace period starts the days after your last working day...so submit your petition before your 60 days of unemployment end...USCIS will automatically consider that timeperiod as grace period...to prove that, you need to submit your last paystub..

SO...in my case i have to submit june paystub while initiating H1 transfer with new employer?

and I can use grace period as july and august right?

from the date yoou have given, looks like your 60 days will end on August 30.  It is advisable to receive a receipt before August 25th just to be on the safe side

Again, there is nothing called H1B transfer in USCIS terminology...your new employer can file your petition before your grace period ends

I am not sure bro...your new employer will pay for your petition though...if you are lucky, they might even pay for your spouse and kid but that's not mandatory....you might be responsible for your spouse's and kid's H4 petition

not sure how your job situation is currently...I read that your current employer is not actively marketing...is your new position a full time or do you have a project if the company is a consulting company?  You choose what suits best for you..
