H1-B Approval with new I-94

Hello,
I am currently on H4 and I got my H1B approved recently but the approval notice said

"On August 21, 2006 the appropriate American Consulate or port of entry
was notified by cable, telephone, or fax of the approval of this case."

Before my case was approved there was an RFE from the USCIS (INS) on why I was out of the country when my H1B petition was under review for which we responded with a new I-94 upon my arrival in the US. The case was subsequently approved but the approval notice said the wording above and the consulate notified was Chennai! Am I required to get my visa stamped in India before I could start working? Is there any way around this to not have to travel to India and get the visa stamping before I could start working?

Could some one who had a similar situation please answer this for us?

Appreciate all the help

Look at H1 approval notice. If you found I-94 at the bottom of the notice, you do not need stamp at this time.
