The H1B belongs to the company, not the employee. The new company needs to have an H1B to transfer your name to before you can move. The transfer process can take a couple of weeks. It's usually completed during the notice period before you start work.

Whole process could take few weeks - depending on the SLA from law firm, it could take 1-4 weeks to complete the application. - once filed in PP, it would be 1-2 weeks until you get the paper receipt. - if you get RFE, the same process repeats. Talk to your hiring companies law firm to get better clarity on their filing SLA and base your decision based on that.
