[ommu]

HI,

Actually i am on my extented 17 months opt and i was hired by this company as a full time and this company that i was working for wasnt e-verified so when the time they were to file my h1b visa they said that i was not legally allowed to work with them so they terminated me and told that they would file an h1b visa for my but in this case they filed a h1b visa to bring a person to the usa from india not change in status...my h1b got approved and i am still in the states ..so could i start working for my company or do i have to go to india and attend the interview from consulate and come back as my h1b was filed to bring me from india.....please suggest

If your H1B was approved as a consular process (approval without I-94), then you need to go out of the country and return back on a valid H1B visa to start working for the H1B employer.
