H1B new employer starting date after i94 expiry

[Akhilar]

Hi,

My current h1b and i94 expires by end of september. However my current employer had filed for extension(normal processing) and i got the reciept notice. But one week back I got a new offer and start date for new employer is by mid of october. New employer is planning to do premium for transfer(before i94 expiry). There is 2 weeks gap between i94 expiry and start date for new employer.

 1)Will I be out of status for  2 weeks if I join new employer after i94 expiry, although i have receipt from current employer.

2)In any case if in future the current employers petition gets denied or revoked or rfe whether it will impact my stay on reciept.

 

Thank you.
