Hi,
I am not sure what to say. Even if you change your company there is no sure that you will be allowed into USA at airport.
you have lot of problems in doing that,
1. your transfer should be approved
2. you should be allowed into USA
3. you should have a job to show immigration an offer letter

Its practically tough to transfer visa when you are in India and that too with all the new H1 rules. Its like poking the nose of USICS and getting yourself into trouble.

My advice is that, try to be on safe terms with your current employer, come to US (even if it is bit late) and transfer visa once your position is safe. Present situation lo H1 transfer is very risky. I havent heard any success stories about H1 transfer off late.

Try,

If your petition is valid with the old employer than you can come with the old visa that is not a problem.
Transfer of H1 is a misnomer, it is actually like you have 2 visas both valid only catch is you cannot work on both h1 at the same time.

If your stamping is done on your old visa you can come without any issues.
please give me advice

This is the worst time to transfer H1B, there a new memo released by USCIS on Jan 13 which defines employer-employee relationship, which has many complicated clauses which might change the way consulting works in future, i am not sure about people who already have enough H1B validity, but from now it seems USCIS need clear and complete information about where the consultant is going to perform services, which itself is tough to answer by many consuting companies and hence rejection is imminent in those cases, earlier these kind of cases were dealt with RFE's etc

it is also clearly mentioned that 221(g) is clear refusal from now rather than administrative check

my suggestion is to deal smoothly with your current employer and try to negotiate with him

I have at least two friends whose H1B transfer has been rejected, the practice of changing compnanies is being discouraged now, unless and untill you get full time and change to some credible employer, don't think of transfer

my personal sugegstion is to keep looking for job in india as well as the current situations is bad here at port of entry as well, atleast it keeps your resume with activity
