Yes, you can still continue to stay. The h1 really doesn't get 'transferred' This term causes most of the confusion.

There is no way that flights are going to resume even in July from India to US for non immigrants.

You are 250% above the poverty line and how much are you planning to save on the cost of the internet under the Lifeline program?

You need to get your terminology straight. If an officer visits you and questions you and you say you were "laid off by your client" and "contract house is paying you" .. you will have a LOT of explaining to do!

Just a reality check.. there is no way that India is going to allow flights from US to resume by April 15. They said they will resume services for "certain countries". No reason to believe US will be on this list given that it is now #1 with COVID19 cases. I dont expect flights will resume before end of May.

Its possible that USCIS found wrongdoing on part of your employer and proactively denying all H1bs. Otherwise you can ask your employer's attorney to call up USCIS and check if this was in error.

"The attorneys are claiming that its a mistake from USCIS and they did file for an extension of stay in I129" First, just because the attorneys filed for an extension of stay doesn't mean USCIS will grant it. They may not give an I94 if there is unauthorized stay, etc. Was that true in your case? In very rare cases does USCIS make the mistake of sending 797 without I94. The best course of action would be for your attorney to call and get it corrected. If there is a case number, I think it would be OK to stay and continue working but the moment they deny, you have to leave the country and go for stamping.

As long as you didnt lie about your income and you are getting paid the legally required wages by your H1b emlpoyer, dont think so.
