Visa stamping clarification

I got h1b from company \'A\' and worked for 3 years. I transferred H1 to company B. Meanwhile my visa from company \'A\' expired and I have sent my passport to INS for new stamp.

Original Stamping: 10-NOV-1998
Latest Stamping: 20-FEB-2007.

I am confused here. I know that H1B is usually given for six years. In my case it should be around 10-NOV-2004.

Company \'A\' applied for GC and I140 is cleared, before I transferred to company \'B\'.

My new approval notice / petition of company \'B\' says the visa is valid until 20-DEC-2003.

I am in dilemma and would like to know why the expiry dates of visa and petition doesn\'t match.

Please Help

INS DOES NOT STAMP VISA ON THE PASSPORT , THEY ONLY APPROVE YOUR H1B TRANFER PETITION, DO YOU MEAN THAT YOU SENT YOUR PASSPORT,APPROVAL NOTICE and VISA FEES IN US TO DEPARTMENT FOR REVALIDATION ON OF VISA?

IF YES, THEN IT IS THE MISTAKE OF DEPARTMENT AT THE TIME OF REVALIDATION, CHECK THE EXPIRY DATE ON YOUR H1B APPROVAL NOTICE WHICH YOU RECIEVED FROM INS, THAT IS THE DATE TILL YOU ARE LEGAL IN US, YOU WILL FIND THE I-94 ATTACHED TO YOUR APPROVAL NOTICE RIGHT BOTTOM-NOTE THE VALIDITY OF THAT DATE.
 AT THE TIME OF REVALIDATION OF YOUR VISA THEY DID A MISTAKE, BUT NO NEED TO WORRY REMEMBER YOU SHOULD AGAIN FILE FOR H1B EXTENSITION BEFORE THE EXPIRY DATE ON YOUR I-94 OR APPROVAL NOTICE.
