H1b revoked after withdrawal by Old Employer

My current H1b was sponsored by Employer A valid & stamped till Oct 2015. 

- I accepted new job offer from employer B. Employer B filed H1b transfer petition which was received by USCIS on June 3rd.
- June 5th (Friday) was last day with Employer A
- Started working on new job with Employer B from June 8th (Monday)
- Received update from USCIS on June 30th that H1b from Employer A was revoked

While all this was happening, I filed for Green card based on marriage through concurrent filing (I-130/ I-485/ I-751/ I-131) which was received by USCIS on June 11th & Bio-metrics appointment on July 6th.

I have few questions :
1. Will this affect my green card process?
2. If I have to leave country, I will need new visa stamp from Employer B or EAD card through I-131 petition to re-enter country?

Please kindly reply, thank you!

H1 revocation is irrelevant for you.

Employer A was required by law to inform USCIS that you no longer work there.

It has no effect at all on you. Employer A was just following the law.

And your visa stays valid. You can enter with the current valid visa and the H1 approval notice from the new employer.

Thank you! JoeF and jairichi....

 

Hopefully I receive EAD & AP before H1b approval. although my h1b transfer was filed with premium processing!
