H1B transfer questions

[Frugal]

I have been a full time employee for the past 1 years and 7 months, unfortunately we are going through cost cutting and was asked to leave.I found a job through a consulting company project lasting just for 6 months.Client is ready to give letters supporting for H1B transfer.I have my i-94 validity until Dec 2013

The model is Employer -> Client

1) What are the chances of successful H1B transfer.

2) If I do a transfer and the project is valid for 6 months, would USCIS give just for 6 months for my new H1B and later point again file for new H1B.

Guys please help.I am confused.

Generally, a change of employer H1B petition must be filed while the beneficiary is maintaining valid H1B status with his/her current H1B employer. The USCIS has issued a statement that it will approve a H1B petition for the amount of time supported by the evidence. If the evidence supports a project that will last one year or less, USCIS has indicated it will issue a one year approval. Please schedule a consultation with a qualified immigration attorney to discuss the specific facts of your case.

=> Though I have seen less than 1 year approval on this forum.
