"so if file for extension, how long it will  take to get approved?"

I assume that u did COS from H1-f1..so there is no question of extension...have to file a New petition for H1b that won't be subject to CAP (if previously u were  counted against the cap).Do PP , will get the approval withing 15 business days if there is no RFE..I am not sure abt startiing to work immediately once u receive ur RECEIPT..During H1 Extension and Transfer , u can work after u get the receipt from USCIS..So better ask the Lawyer who is handling the case..
