FlagMy H1B with company A became effective for the 1st time from CAP-GAP on Oct 1st ,initiated a transfer to Company B. H1b transfer got denied on NOV 30th and there is 30 days to make an appeal for the denial case. Company C is going to file new H1B through consular processing. Considering Company A revoked my H1B , I should be out-of-status.

As stated from others, considering your H-1B was revoked from company, it can be assumed you went to work for B. You were out of status at the moment of denial and have to leave the U.S. You can contact my office if you need further clarification or help with the consular processing issue.

Had you remained to work for Co. A, you would have still been considered in valid H-1B status, irregardless of the denial of Co. B's petition on your behalf.
But I suspect you started working for Co. B as soon as the USCIS filing receipt arrived. Consequently, you are now deemed to have been out of status as of November 30, the date of the denial of Co. B's petition, and have been accruing "unlawful presence" ever since that date.
