Can we do both H1B Transfer and H1B Extension at same time

[Ramu1991]

Hi

I am Currently in initial(first one) H1B Visa and I recently applied for H1B Transfer to new employer in premium processing which got RFE , RFE was answered(8/28) and waiting for Approval. 

But my current H1B visa is about to expire on mid of Oct and requires extension if i want to stay with my current employer. In this situation

 

1. Can i process both H1Extension and H1Transfer at same time

2. Do i need to wait for H1Transfer Status and then apply for H1Extension 

 

Is it advisable to apply both(Transfer and Extension) at same time.

Please help me on above situation. 

Thanks,

2) Nope
