Transfer between sister companies

[Ashoka TheGreat]

Hi jaxen, Jim Mills and other friends,

I work for a co. C1 (child1) which is a part of a parent co. P1. The petitioner in my H1-B application was co. P1 (on payroll of P1).
This parent co. P1 is a part of a grandparent company GP.

Now, co. P1 is transferring its co. C1 to another co. P2 that it a part
of co. GP. After this transfer co. C1 will be called C2.

Definition of "transfer" - Two W-2s for year 2002, new payroll,
FICA starts from scratch. However, start date, leave etc. will point to
that of co. P1. Job profile or salary does not change.

1. Do I need a H1-B transfer?
2. Is there a need for P2 to file an amended H1-B petition?

Your opinion will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Ashoka
