j1 waiver - j1 transfer - j1 extension timing question

Hi,

I am currently on J1 which expires end of August 2006. I have applied for j1 waiver and have received one of the NORI certificates and the other two have been dispatched (delhi and passport office) and I should receive them in couple of weeks.

I know that if want to extend my j1 end-date (to time it with the beginning of new H1 quota on Oct 1, 2006) then I should do that before I submit the nori certificates.

A few companies have offered me job and are checking if they can hire me on J1 by J1 transfer and then get me H1 for Oct 1. I have a few questions regarding the timing for this -

* If I transfer my J1 will the waiver that receive be valid ?
* Can I transfer after submitting the nori certificates and getting waiver or should this be done before submitting nori certificates ?
* Suppose I tranfer before I submit nori certificates, will the company be able to extend my j1 ?

Somebody please guide me on this if you something about this.

thanks
