H1B: Can extension & H1 transfer happen in parallel?

[srinivas.akyana]

Hello,

 

I was trying to initiate my H1 transfer to new employer but since USCIS suspended the Premium processing for 2 months, now it needs to be done in normal processing (not in Premium) however my I-797 is valid from current employer until Aug, 2015 only. Now the question is:

• Can I let my H1 transfer process in normal mode while extension from current employer in progress?
• Will it cause any issues to me as both will be in process in parallel?

Please help.

 

Thanks!
