When does your I-94 expire? You have 10 days after your I-94 date of expiry to apply for change or extend your status from H1 to H1/B1..or any other status. But usually even if you apply for H1 transfer after 30-60 days... you may get it transferrred but you may be required to go out of US for stamping as you were out of status.

---NOT true, no such law/regulation or Memo exists

you need to apply H1 extension before your I-94 expires or 6 months advance of H1 expiry date
