I came to US on B1 on July 10, 2000. While in US I applied for H1 B with another employer and requested change of Status.

I got my H1 approved with change of status from B1 to H1 and the updated I-94 , dated Nov 15, 2000.

I joined the new employer on Dec 15, 2000.

During this transition I never went outside US.

My question is when does the 6-year H1 period begin. Nov 15 or Dec 15 or July 2000

Also, will my B1 period be counted since I never left the country?

Appreciate a response.
