H1 Transfer with expired I-94

[sandy_ts89]

I am currently working with Company A and i have valid I-797 and Visa Stamped on Passport till Sep 2016, But my I-94 expired in Sep 2015 and my company A filed I-94 extension with USCIS and i have received receipt notice for I-94 extension. Now i want to switch to Company B.

My Question is:-
1. Can we do H1 transfer from Company A to Company B if we have valid I-797 and Visa stamped on the passport with expired I-94 with Company A, The I-94 extension is in progress and we only have Receipt Notice from USCIS.
2. Are there any chances of rejection of H1 transfer to Company B.

Appreciate Your Help.

Thanks.

Possible, but risky. Company B's petition will get approved with a new I-94 only if Company A's petition gets approved. If company A withdraws their petition, then company B's petition will either be declined or will get approved for consular process. Search and read about bridging petitions.
