Welcome to Apple Support Communities

It looks like migration is frozen, so hold the Power button of both Macs to turn them off, and turn on your new iMac again to see whether all your data is there. You won't get anything if you wait more.

Does your iMac let you choose the user account you want to log in when you start it up? If you are in the desktop, go to the Apple menu -> Log Off, and see if there are two user accounts. Sometimes your data is there but in a different user account, so you cannot access to it.
