just make sure you don't get 'out of status', if your visa/I94 is running out and you are not likely to get an extension before expiry, your best bet may be to leave the country and return after the approval of the H1b filed by your sponsor. In any case you would still have needed to leave the country for an H1b stamp in your passport.
