H1B Transfer when Extension is in process with the same client location in LCA

[skrknr]

Hi,

I see similar questions in the forum, but my case has one additional thing to ask. 

1) My current i-797 and i-94 is valid until Sept 30th 2017. Employer A (current employer) has filed for H1B extension with client location "X" in June last week and application is still pending.

2) Can Employer B file for the transfer and extension with the same client location "X" (in LCA) as Employer A filed extension with.

3) If #2 is doable, will there be any complications if Employer B files for transfer and extension after Sept 30th( i797 and i94 expiration date). At the same time any advantage if Employer B initiates transfer and extension before Sept 30th.

4) There are chances that extension from Employer A can be denied. If #2 is possible and employer B initiates process before Sept 30th, in case of  Employer A's extension denial,  am I allowed to stay in US.

Appreciate your help!!. Thanks in advance.

What about contractual obligations? if any? Any employer can file before the end of your current I94 and you can join them. If they file after September, 30 you will need the extension from A approved first before the petition from B is approved.

@pontevecchioThank you very much for your reply. I work in EVC model and Employer B is  vendor to this contract. I believe there may not be any contractual obligations. So just want to make sure about your reply. If there are no contractual obligations I can transfer to any employer with the same client X on LCA  before September 30th?  Thanks again.
