Currently with H4 - I94 living in US, H1 approved
Hi members,

I'm in USA for 4 months with H4 visa.
Now my H1 petition got approved and is effective from october 2017.

My question is
"Do i need to go back to india immediately and get stamping for H1 visa"?
 or
"Start the job and stay back in US" and get stamping whenever i travel to india.?

Anyone gone through same situation? please reply.

Thanx in advance.
