Re: about H1 B
If your H-1B approval is a change of status, you must start your H-1B within 60 days of the approval. If your H-1B approval is not a change of status--but rather a notification to the Consulate, you can choose to start your H-1B at any time prior to the expiration of the approval. You would need to go abroad and apply for an H-1B visa. Upon your return to the U.S., you would be in H-1B status.

Responding to this inquiry in no way establishes an attorney client relationship; however, I look forward to exploring these issues with you further by way of telephone or in-person consultation.
