Hi,

I already read the post but still I am unclear.If H1B transfer from company A to Company B is cancelled.What abt the status of bridging.Is it considered bridging cancelled.

My concern is since my H1b petetion is not transfered from company -a to company b due to cancel and company a is not cancelled my petetion and i have valid h1b petetion and I-94 until 2011.

Am i in legal state right? My transfer to company c would not have any problems right?

Can any of the reader who faced similar situation can you please reply me.

Reply is just a relief not legal advice.I know still I need response.Thank you.

Officially, your bridging scenario is at risk. Suggested approach is to have a premium process case filed by C, get an approval notice with I-94 attached, travel outside and re-enter with a new I-94. This would help reduce any bridging gap of stay. If not, there is a risk in the future.
