USCIS approved my H-1B visa petition from a consulting company, but DID NOT approve my change of status application from F-1 to H-1.
I also got my OPT approved. It is valid from September 27, 2007 to September 26, 2008.
I now have a job offer from company B which I want to join on my OPT. The attorney in Company B says I can work on OPT as long as I do not leave the country. She also said that the H-1B status (from the consulting company) will take effect only if travel outside to get the H1 visa stamped and reenter the country.
My question is, does the H-1B from the consulting company need to be revoked/canceled for my OPT to be valid?
