H1B transfer with Receipt

[ptravel]

Hello everyone,

I have a general question on transfer. If the current H1 petition expired with Company A and I have an extension filed and still in process, can a new company B file for transfer with the extension receipt itself?

Please advice.

Thanks in advance.

I also have the exact same situation.

Yes a new employer can transfer your H1 while your extension is still in process and your current H1 is pending.

I have been in the exact same situation in the past.

My H1b is with company A ( visa is valid till 07/31/2011 and I94 till 08/10/2011 )

- I transfered my H1b to company B in Feb 2011 and got an RFE in May 2011 and replied

to that RFE on 24th June 2011 and also upgraded it to premium on July 6th 1011

- I called my previous employer A to check if in case my H1b transfer gets denied i can join

them back. They said my H1b is revoked. But they are ready to transfer my H1b using the

company B pay stubs and h1b transfer reciept So that if my h1b transfer to B gets denied i

wont be in out of status.

Should i wait for the decision from UICIS or should i initiate the transfer to my previous

employer A before the decision?

What are the options available in front of me in both the cases ?
