Thank you for any ideas you have on these questions. My spouse's current H1 petition is good till Sep '17, and is applying COS to H4 [quitting the job, trying for H4 EAD]. 

  1. What should be the effective date that we need to mention on this I-539 form? for example Last working day + 1 day seems a more appropriate start date for the new status. 
  2. Is there any flexibility on what this date should be, for example filing within a month's time of last working day? 
  3. Does USCIS approve based on what we mention as effective date or just pick the day they review and approve as the effective date?
