Query about H1b Transfer

Hi,

So this year i was working for a company under L2 EAD till june 2022. So they applied for my H1b and it got picked in the lottery and its approved(change of status) also.
L2 status ended June 20th and Entered into H4 status till Sept 30th with no permission to work.

Now the company i was working is telling me that they need to lay me off because of Financial conditions but they said they wont revoke my H1b.

Does that mean i can find a new employer and file for H1b transfer with the approval i have?
if i can file for transfer is it good to do it after Oct1st or before Oct1st? Technically ill have no job starting from Oct 1st and my status will change to H1b automatically since its COS that was applied.

Thanks
 
Your new employer can file "new employment H-1B" not subject to quota. Your H-1B kicks in from 10/01.

If there is no H-1B job effective 10/01, you can revert back to L2 if your spouse continues to be on L1 & in future you can have employer file H-1B petition as I stated previously.
