My husband's H1b starts from October and he is currently on F1 OPT. Right now I am on my  own H1b but planning on leaving my job and change to h4 visa.
When will i be eligible to file h4 application?
 
When the status is pending, will I be able to keep up my H1b until October to legally stay in this country?
I heard that I am legal while pending, is that true?
 
We both are in US right now.

you can file your I-539 change of status application to H-4 six months before.
