H1B Transfer Approved for Short Duration. Can I stay back with my previous employer?

[KDR 0]

I am currently working with Company A on H1B and I have a valid visa until Sept 2020. In July, 2019, I have received an offer from Company B and I have initiated visa transfer process/new filling under cap exempt. However, I still continued to work with Company A during the process. On Oct 17, 2020 my H1b petition with Company B (new employer) was approved, but only for a duration of two months (Until Dec 31, 2019).   Since, I received a short approval, I opted not to join Company B (new employer) on short duration visa, and requested them to revoke 2months H1b approval and to file a new one.   At this point, I am still continuing my employement with Company A with valid H1b until Sept 2020. Not resigned still actively working under their W2. Upon approaching the Company B  immigration attorney to revoke Company B Approval, Below was his response:   Per Last Action Rule, Benifeciery (I) should immediately travel out and reenter the U.S. using the previous employer's approval notice and a verification letter from the previous employer in order for the status to be re-associated with them.    My Company A attorney stated that 'Last Action Rule' does not apply to H1B Transfer and mentioned that I can continue with Company A without any issues. Revokation of Company B will not have any impact on my status with Company A.   I am confused, I was always under the impression that I can stick to my previous employer even after approval of transfer/new petition with new employer. Please advice...

Your Company A is correct in this case. If you want to be over cautious, you can travel out side the country and come back with new I94.

I am not an expert and I feel you are good to work with Company A. More over you are safe since you have valid visa with company A.

Company A attorney is right. You can continue working for Company A.
