As far as I understand H1Bs dont go into effect until 1st October though they are approved earlier. You might want to check with your attorney just to make sure that you are reading it right.

Problem101, if your H1B is for college, university, or research institutes and some non-profit organizations (which are exempt from quota), then you can start working from 06/01/07. If you applied through one of the quota limited category and intended to start working from 10/01/07, it might be an error on the part of USCIS. Better talk to your attorney.

Contour actually I had my OPT expired Jan 07. I was late when I applied for h1b last year and the quota was already filled. Somehow I got lucky this year though. For sure I will chill n drink beer and jim beam ;)
