Changes status from F1 to H1B

[techy2468]

I have two questions:

1. Do I need get visa stamping ( I am currently on F1 status in USA, want to switch to H1, no plans to travel).

2. Does USCIS send new I-94 with the H1B (I797 C) approval notice?

Thanks.

1. No if it's on COS.
2. No, they dont' send I-94 with 797C. It comes with 797A.

 

[techy2468]

you mean 797 is also an approval notice, but with I-94 attached to the bottom?

can you please elaborate about COS?

797A is with I94, 797B is without I-94.
COS = change of status.
