I94 Expired -H1B extension denied and H1B transfer decesion pending

[muneebhussain]

My I94/H1-B expired on 5th May 2016 . My extension was filed in April . On July 15th I lost my job and transferred my H1B to a new company on 1st Aug in regular processing and the decision is still pending . I got to know on Sep 2nd that my H1B extension got denied with my previous company , most likely my H1B transfer will be approved with CP.

However, I came to know that one can not stay in US more than 180 days after I94 expiration date .

With that said should I convert my H1B to PP have the decision in hand asap before 5th November (180 days completes on 5th Nov)

OR

Should I keep waiting for my H1B decession which is filed under regular processing and most likley to come in late November or early December
