OPT and H1 transfer

[skyman]

Hi friends,
I completed my Masters degree this May 08 and started working on opt for a company A. Meanwhile another company B filed for my H1 and it got approved. But i would now like to continue working for my current company A.
1. On what status would i be on October 1?
2. Could i continue working for Company A on my OPT even after October 1?

thanks

If the H1-B came with I-94 attached to the I797 form, then your status would be H1-B from the day written on the I-94 form. From that day, you cannot work with the employer A without filing another H1-B with employer A.
