Hi,

I am in US on H4 visa. I have received approved H1 from a company A and my effective start date is mid Jan 2012. What if I don’t join the company A because another company B is applying for my H1 before effective start date of H1. I want to join company B.

If I don’t join the company A what will be my status after mid Jan till I get approval from company B. Will I be on H4 or I should join company A to maintain a legal status in US?

You may have up to 60 days to report from the start date. In the meantime B can file and if necessary you can leave and come back with the H1 visa with the approval through B. In any such situation please talk to a Lawyer proactively before the fan is sullied..... Maybe give the firm of Murthy a call. What you propose is possible with expert help.
