H1B extension and H1B transfer at the same time- Pls advice...

[raj7885]

HI,

I am in my 1st term of H1B with Employer A and my H1B is valid until Aug 31 2012.
A new employer B has applied for my H1B transfer and status is still pending.
However my current employer A wants to apply for my H1B extension by the end of next week.
(they do not want to wait any further...)

I would like to know if it is OK to file for H1B extension while a H1B transfer petition is pending?
If there is an RFE on H1B transfer from employer B before I apply for H1B extension from employer A, can I still apply for H1B extension with employer A?
or
What happens if both the petitions get approved? i.e., can I only work for the petitioner whose petition got approved the latest?

Please advice. I am confused...

Thanks,
Raj.
