H4 to H1 Effective date - Need help

[Questions_123]

Hi - My employer recently applied for H4 to H1 change of status for me and it got approved with an effective date of July 1st on i797a form.  Pls helpe me with the following.

 

1) Does that mean that i can start working before Oct 1st?

2) Will the date on i129 has any effect on my joining date and the eligibility for working.

3) Does that mean that I definetely need to go for stamping if i travel to india now?

4) Will there be any impacts if my employer decides to have the start date as Oct 1st for my employment?

 

Any concrete help in this will be helpful. Thank you.

You need to address this with the employer's attorney.  The position may be cap exempt which would permit an earlier start.
