b) I have to move out of this company as they gave 2 week notice(due to GC Processing with current Company(CompanyA), as they keep saying PERM got applied/audited/denied, but not showing any proof,. They gave the 2 weeks notice for separation when I asked my employer to show all the details about PERM audit/denial)

c) At this moment, I am not working on any project

d) Found a CompanyB to transfer my H1B

e) CompanyB asking me to get the job and then we go can ahead with H1B and also we can start processing for PERM(for GC)
