Change of employer when h1b extension is pending

[SREVY]

Hi,
My H1B VISA has expired & my current employer has filed the extension which is yet to be approved by USCIS.
I'm planning to move to a different company.

My question is,
1. If the Transfer VISA filed by my new company gets approved before the previous employer,
then can I process H4 for dependents based on the transfer VISA ?

2. What will happend to the extension filed by my previous employer ? will it become obsolete ?

>>> Yes.

2. What will happend to the extension filed by my previous employer ? will it become obsolete ?
>>> That petition will also get processed. However, if you no longer wish to work for that employer, then you need not worry about that petition.

Since your I-94 already expired, your transfer will be treated as a bridge petition. Search and read about 'bridging'.
