Will I have any issues with my visa if the transfer was rejected?

Q: I am working with Company A on H1B visa. I have now got an offer from Company B. (i) Once the transfer is approved by USCIS then if I wish to still continue with Company A then can I continue with Company A using my current H1 (which is via Company A)? ( ii) Once the transfer is approved by USCIS then if I wish to still continue with Company A, then later on during extension of the H1 will Company A come to know that there had been an H1 transfer request? (iii) If the transfer request from Company B gets rejected by USCIS, then will my current H1 with Company A be also invalid? Or can I still continue to work with Company A using my current H1? (iv) In case the transfer is rejected and I continue with Company A then later when I file for an extension will there be any issue because of this transfer rejection?

A:answer to question (i): you can continue working for company A if company A does not withdraw your h1 petition.

answer to question(ii): It is unlikely company A would know this transfer application.

answer to question(iii): your current h1 will still be valid and you can continue working for company A unless this approval is withdrawn by the employer.

answer to question(iv): no problem.
