Whichever company you want to continue work with ask them to file the H1 petition with EOS before current I-94 expiry. I would suggest that you ask Company B to file the transfer. Its not that it would be mandatory to join company B, but yes, if company A doesnt file extension before I-94 then pretty much you would have to join company B upon approval as no other choice. So, in case company A doesnt file extension timely you would have company B to fall upon.

This is my opinion not legal advice.

Thank You very much Raghvi for your prompt response.

Company B told they will file transfer and extension all together.So i have submitted all the documents what they requested last week.Today i got another mail from my Company A saying that they will file my extension in premium process.Does it impact if i file extension from both the companies.

Please suggest.

I see no issues. If both are approved, you can choose whom to work with.

Cool.

How many days it will take to get the transfer receipt number?

Thanks Ragvi
