You can go for stamping anytime during the petition validity period. Whenever you appear for stamping, make sure you have recently dated documents like offer letter, client/project letter etc.

As for transfer, find another employer, ask them to file cap-exempt H-1 for you (submit copy of current approval notice or receipt number for this). Once approved, go for stamping if old visa stamp has expired and then travel to US to work for the new employer.
