Change of status L1B to H1B question on start date

Hi,

I am currently on L1B from company A and company B applied for my H1B. I got the approval notice with new I-94 with valid from date 10/01/2005. I have a few doubts since I have to give 2 months notice to my current employer:

1. Does valid from date mean I need to join the Company B on 10/01/2005 or Do I have some grace period before I join the company B?

2. Can the date of joining the new company (Company B) be changed or valid from date on the I-94 be changed to a later date so that I can complete exit formalities with the current employer?

Thanks in advance
Krishna. P
 
1) In case of COS, you have 60 days grace period. H1B gets valid
and you should start working within 60 days at company B.
