COS from L1 to H1 with multiple employers.First approved w/new I-94 but second denied

[visaaspirant2014]

Although i noticed few similar questions on this forum, I couldnt find the exact answer. I am in a situation where my L1 to H1 COS is approved with new I-94. I have also started working with XYZ employer begining Oct-1st this year. I was also selected by another employer and they initiated my COS to H1 earlier in April-2014. The second case went through RFE and unfortunately the COS denied today. My question is - can I legally continue staying in this country while working for 1st employer XYZ? Will this cause any issue when I go out of the country and appear for stamping.

Just to clarify my situation again -

When I filed for H1-B through multiple employers, my status was L1. However effective oct-1st, the status changed to H1 as my COS was approved through first Employer (XYZ). Now after a month, second employer got the verdict on COS to H1 and a denial came today. Does this make me go back to L1 Or I will keep on H1-B status?

You would be on H1. To be safe, leave US, get H1 stamping and return.

This is my opinion not legal advice.

Thank you for your advice !

I need to complete a deadline based assignment in December this year and was thinking to leave US in January for Stamping. Will this denial cause any issues in the stamping?

Do I need to mention anywhere that someone applied another COS for me and the petition got denied?

Please let me know your thoughts.

Appreciate your help again !

Thank you..

I dont think the other denial would affect the outcome of current H1 visa interview, and there is no requirement to declare the same.
