Lay off and the newly applied H1 petition declined.

My husband is on H1 B since 3 years. The expiry date on his H1 visa, my H4 and our I- 94s is 07/04/2010. That visa has Company A's name on it. They have laid off my husband, his last working day in that company was 11/30/2009. He found another job at Company B (a consultancy and my husband in contract position) and they petitioned for H1 transfer on 12/20/2009 by sending I-129 form. The petition is disapproved 2 days back.

He is currently working for a client and can get a client letter.

1)Can the company B petition again?
2)Can another company C file the petition with the client letter?
3)What was our legal status between 11/30/2009 and 12/20/2009?
4)What is our legal status now that the petition is disapproved and until the next petition is filed?
5)Is it legal to stay in US while the H1 or F1 is being processed and if the decision comes after the current expiry date on our I-94?


I hope Rajiv and Group have some answers for us.

Any help in answering the questions is much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards.
