HI, there are two options in your case.
1. Accept H1B transfer to the current company who offer you the sponsorship and apply for the H1B extension, transfer and extension, both can be done at the same time. and while applying, go for premium processing so that you get your apprval withing 2 to 4 weeks. Never ever go for general , it might takes more than 5 months and by that time your curent H1B status will be in pending and cause lots of other legal and technical problem like driving license can not be renewed, and others.
2. Apply for the H1B extension in premium from the Indian consulting firm and once approved, transfer to the current company any time.
In my opinion, first option is the best one, however, talk to your lawyer for the best result. Keep in mind, go for premium processing, otherwise you have to wait for 5-6 months for approval and while applying for the extension, provide all the documents necessary. Getting extension is tough these days, so your lawyer should file with proper supporting documents. All the best my friend. If you need any further details, you can send me email in sajha.
