H1B transfer, close to visa expiry

[shellyd]

Dear friends, 

I am on the 6th year of H1B and have got I-140 approved. My visa is expiring in the next 2 months and my employer hasn't filed for extension yet, since they aren't able to find a new client yet. Is it legal if I am able to find another employer who can transfer my visa and thus extend further? Since the time left on my current visa is very less, will that be a point for USCIS to deny the H1B transfer? 

Hope someone who have gone through my current situation would be able to give me a clear picture. 

Thank you

Your employer has time till the end of your I94 validity to file a cap exempt H1B petition and get a receipt.
