H1B application change of status stamping

Question

My H1B visa is approved which will be active from 1st Oct 2013. Since it is a change of status application from F1 to H1, is it alright if I go for the stamping before 1st October?
I am currently out of USA and will be returning on my student Visa (F1) before Oct 1. Is it ok if I get H1B stamped when I am in India?

Answer 1

You will be eligible to go for H1B visa stamping up to 90 days before the start date on H1B I-797 approval date (Oct 1st). You may enter through F1, but in case you delay then you can enter up to 10 days prior to Oct 1st.
