Hi

Need assistance on H1B, I'am graduating with MBA in August 2014, I have a job offer and my employer is ok to file my H1B this year on 1st April 2014. I want to know if there is a possible to defer the start date of H1B after OPT date which is for 1-year after graduation until August 2015. If yes what are the possible risk in doing so ?

Thank you,

Best
 
Actually, I am surprised that your attorney has not told you this, but it is much better to start with the OPT (easier to get and no lottery). Also when you use your H after one year of OPT you get an extra year in the US. So ask your employer to sponsor for H1 after joining on OPT.
