and I94 expired from 15-SEP-2013.

2. If there is a option to start working for Employer B , and some decison is taken on L1B , will it be a problem for me to stay here and work for Employer B.

3. Is my H1B COS valid on 01-oct-2013 ? i wont have any status on 16-sep-2013 to 30-sep-2013 and all i have is L1B RFE during this period.

I would highly recommend that you discuss this matter with the attorney who filed your H-1B case.

Also keep in mind that your 5 yr L-1B maximum period of stay permitted includes all cumulative periods in both L-1B and H-1B status.

If your L-1B employer has already filed the RFE response, they/you might want to consider premium processing, if you have not received a response yet & are concerned about a gap in status.
