I am on 17 Month OPT and the expiry of my OPT (EAD) is 07/01/2012.

I am working for American Company (Full time) and my employer is willing to file for my H-1B.

Today i.e 11/15/2011 my attorney applied for LCA by mentioning the employment dates (beginning 05/14/2012 through 05/13/2015).

Question:

1. will there be any issues if I request a start date from 05/14/2012 (which is exactly six months later).

and the reason why i am worried is because the start date is after April 1st 2012 ( beginning of FY2013)..

Don't worry. Beginning of FY2013 is from October 1st 2012 and not from April 1st.

Although my knowledge is no way near any attorney or some other people on this forum, as far as I understand, your attorney has done the right thing to keep you on OPT for as long as possible and at the same time making sure that a proper and timely H1B application is also made before the quota gets filled up.
