I posted this message sometime back

Here is my condition. Please advise....
I was working for a start-up X. They closed sometime in Feb '2003. Two months before they closed, they applied for my H1-B extension.
I joined a shady desi consulting firm Y after my previous employer closed down. This company applied for my H1-B Transfer.
I got an offer from another start-up Z in Aug '2003. This company applied for my H1-B transfer. We got a RFE from INS on this H1-B transfer. The RFE states that
"Electronic records indicate that a prior petition was filed on the beneficiary's behalf. On November 6, 2003, the Service requested additional information on that petition. Before the Service and continue with this case, the prior petitioner must respond to the request for additional evidence".
The shady desi consulting firm Y's H1-B transfer got an RFE. They never responded to the RFE. Since the firm Y does not have a vested interest in my scneario, I doubt if they would respond to the RFE. How should I proceed..?
My present employer(company Z) does not have any immigration attorneys.
Any replies would be highly appreciated.
=============> END ORIGINAL MESSAGE <==========
My present employer contacted an immigration attorney and they have advised to apply for a new H1-B through Consular Notification and get this new H1-B stamped at the Border post at Tijuana. Is that a good option..? I would like to get a opinion from other immigration gurus.
Thanks
