If that helps, here is what happened to me couple years ago: state A put a restriction on my medical. After many medical exams in the state where I live -state B- the doctors deemed me fit for removal of the restriction. However, state A did not agree with that and kept my restriction, against the decisions of the AMEs involved in the process. Thus, I went to state B (where the doctors involved deemed me fit) and talked to CAA B. After acceptance of my level of fitness at CAA B, I did transfer my medical (and licences) from state A to state B. State A can't do anything but accept the transfer.
Long story short: state B is not obligated to accept a passed medical at state A, but state B can not refuse transfer of your licence to A if you wish to do so. Not all state have the same opinion/requirement on things, sometime it is worth comparing... Good luck !
