H1 Transfer Approved, but expiring early

[joshy_m]

Hi,

I work for a company A and I have a valid i797 till Jan 2015. Now that I decided to switch company and move to Company B. I have my H1 transfer completed successfully, but got the i797 approved only till Jan 2014.

I have a couple of question around this topic

1. Any idea why did it happen this way?
2. If I decided not to join Company B and continue with Company A, will I be eligible to stay in Company A till Jan 2015?

Do any one face similar cases before? Info on similar case helps highly
