H1B transfer please please help any opinion appreciated

[harihith]

Hi all
My situation:
I am mechanical engineer, I got laid off due to reduction in force on Nov 21st, I searched for jobs and found one under a consulting group who started my H1 transfer process on dec 22 2008. I got a query from USCIS regarding my W2 around 1 week of Jan and responded back by Jan 28th. I received the LCA case # from the company around feb 15th. I am yet to receive the receipt #. The agreement between the consulting company and me was that I will be assigned project only after I received my Receipt#.

Meanwhile I got a very good offer from a another company and they want to apply for my H1B transfer however my pay stubs are from Nov-Dec. What options am I looking at?
Consular processing?
Rejection of H1 transfer?
All smooth because I tried to maintain status however was waiting on USCIS to respond back with receipt #?

Nov 21 --> Dec 22nd = out of status
Dec 22nd onwards also out of status if you did not work and get paid.

In this case, IMO, consular notification is the option to go. PP the case and re-enter with a valid H1 visa and offer.
