H1 to H4 and another H1 transfer concurrently

[Sharon123]

My current H1 is valid till Feb 8,2020 and I had applied for H4 and H4 EAD and received receipt number in May end  and had quit my company  on May 28,2019.

In the meantime found a new employer who has filed my H1 transfer in premium yesterday ( Jun 13,2019) and received my receipt notice.

Is it mandatory that I withdraw my H4 and H4 COS since my H1 transfer is now in progress ?

I was hoping not to withdraw as I thought in case of H1 transfer being denied I would still have the H4 and H4EAD receipt numbers handy thus avoiding me going out of status.

Any clarity you could offer who be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Sharon

Not mandatory now, but you need to withdraw once your H-1 is approved.
