H4 Expiring Soon, Need COS to B2 for H1 Eligibility

My H4 will be expiring on April 27, 2013 as I turn 21 years old, but my I-94 expires on Sept. 5, 2013. I would like to get an H1B sponsorship but I need to be in status until Oct. 1, 2013. F1 is not an option, so I'm thinking of filing for B2.

Do I need to file now or just before the H4 expiration (to make sure I get a valid B2 until Oct. 1)? What will be the start date of B2 if I apply now?

Thank you.

If you are planning to work on H1 this year, then by this time you should have found a sponsor and prepared all the documentation for H1.
