From OPT to H-1B?

Currently working on OPT and employer is filing for H-1B. Is it true that we HAVE to go to a foreign US embassy to get the H-1B stamp? Is there some possibility of doing it in the US?

Also, does it have to be your home country? My wife is from a different country and will also be getting her H-1B from her employer. If we HAVE to go abroad to get our H-1B stamps can we at least go to the same country (either her or my home country)?

Does it make a difference what kind fo employer it is? I am working the private sector, but my wife works as a professor for a university.

Thank you!
