Yes, your employer should file the H-1b petition before the expiry of your status and the start date mentioned should be on the day or before the expiry of your status, so there is no gap in your status when you receive the approval.
Hi, My h1 was approved under consular process which is I 797B from employer B on Aug 2023. But currently was working for employer A on stem opt which is going to expire on July 4th 2024. Employer B was planning to keep the change of status of my h1. If he keep change of status, does he can mention specific start date in it? As July 5th 2024. As my stem opt expires on July 4th 2024
