URGENT: RFE or new H-1?

Hello All,

Please kindly respond to the following URGENT questions:

Current situation:
The 'XYZ company' sent in for my H-1 visa TRANSFER (Premium). At this time, the BCIS recently issued an RFE for request for the latest paystubs for employment (i.e. between June and September). What do I do? I was laid off in June 2003 (H-1B status) and has not worked since then-i.e. no paystubs since June 2003 and being out of status for about 120 days now.

Do I:
(A) Withdraw the H-1 Transfer application? I dread responding back, as I have no paystubs to provide- which can most likely result in a denial!
(B) If and when the H-1 Transfer RFE is withdrawn, can a new company ('ABC') re-apply for a NEW H-1 visa (different processing center). If so, what are the chances of obtaining a new H-1 stamp in Mexico or am I better off going to my country of residence for the new stamp?


Many thanks for your kind attention and advice. I appreciate it!
 
The paystub question will definitely haunt at the US consulate later. It is better to tell BCIS that you were without a paystub during that period and get a H1 without I94(which means that you can go to the nearest POE and get a I94), rather than being stuck outside USA. My opinion.
