H1 Visa Extension & Transfer

I am in this wierd situation. My H1B expires in March 2020 and I filed for a extension last week via regular processing. expected time is 3-6months. I recently got a offer and the company wants to do my H1B transfer asap. Can I do a H1B transfer to a new company while my H1B extension is in process for the current company. TC 210k

Yes you can!Transfer will act as extension too!

Yes. It would be best if your transfer comes through before March, otherwise it is kind of contingent on the extension being approved first.
