h1b transfer i140 witdrawn from current employer on May,2017

[EAD user]

HI All,

My status : i140 approved date - Feb, 2011.

current H1B valid till : June, 2019

Current employer due to some policies has withdrawn representation for further processing of my I140 in May, 2017. The USCIS status says they have received the documents from my employer and have mailed the withdrawal acknowledgment notice to my employer.

Question

[1] With the new rule effective from Jan-17-2017, is it still possible to do a H1B transfer to a new employer.

[2] Also, can i apply for a 3 year period in h1b transfer or go with the remaining time on current h1b only.

Thank You All in Advance ,

Warm Regards...

1. Yes

2.Yes

Only doubt I have is that this 140 was approved before the law became effective in Jan 2017.
