Hello, I am currently on H1B visa. My visa expires in dec, 2012. I am leaving my job by the end of this month. My spouse is also on H1B. Can I apply for conversion to H4 in march or should I apply for it before I am out of my job? Some one please answer as soon as possible as I have to take some decisions fast. Thanks.

Your change of status application (I-539) must be received by USCIS before your last day at work. USCIS considers their receipt notice date and not the physical courier delivery date for this purpose. Receipt date is about 1 to 2 weeks later than physical delivery date in case of paper application and the same as submission date in case of eFiling.
Once you get the receipt notice, you can stop maintaining H1 status at any time before the change of status gets approved.This is my opinion and not legal advice.
