Transfer from L1B to H1b , when L1 extension has RFE

[kt0241]

HI,

I am currently in US and my L1 visa as well as my I-94 has exired. but I am staying on L1 Visa Extension. I got RFE for extension and i had replied to same with supporting documents. but USCIS hasn't taken any decisson yet.

Now i got a new offer from other company . I had H1 Visa, which was expired in 2009.now , while i have no Validity in I-94 and staying on Visa extension period of 240 days, can i initate to re-activate my old H1 Visa ? is it possible ? I had examples, where initiation of expired H1 visa was re-activated, but they had I-94 Validity. my case is now i had RFE on my L1 Visa extension, so can i take up the new offer and re-activate H1 Visa.? is it legal

please advise.
