H1B denied !!!

[REHTA]

Hi 

Need urgent help !

I was laid off by employer A in 1st week of march 2017 with whom I had approved I797 and I94  valid till May 2019 . I joined another project on April 10 with employer B who filed my H1B transfer on April 5th 2017  in regular processing as premium processing was closed for 6 months . I got RFE with employer B  in June and after submitting all the supporting documents my h1b transfer thru employer B got denied on sept 9th 2017. Meanwhile I also learnt that employer A has revoked my  H1B  on June 22 2017.

Employer B asked me not to work for a week once after he receives the denial notice through mail. Meanwhile he filed a new H1B visa in that week and asked me to rejoin the work next week based on the new H1b receipt number.

I validated this with my employer's attorney .He mentioned that since I have a valid I 94  till  May 2019 and based on the new ruling in Jan 2017 (60 day grace period)  I can continue working based on the new h1b receipt number.

Need a second opinion in this regard as I started to work again based on the new receipt number.

Thanks

I think your attorney is correct. This time file your H1 under premium.
