satya2k1 Posted July 11, 2017 Report Posted July 11, 2017 It's better you ask your fulltime employer to apply for H1 after October 1st.

I have my opt valid till 19 jan. Since your H1B is approved from October, 2017, your status changes to H1 from Oct 1st and OPT is not valid anymore. Check with your fulltime employer and seek their attorney's advise.
