Hello Guys,
Please check with a Lawyer (IANAL) before you decide anything, however, AFAIK, H1B is for future employment and you don't have to be currently authorized to work or working for the petitioning company, that is how people come straight on H1B from India, I have friends that have come to US straight on H1B from Nepal as well. Having said that, it is however difficult to find an employer who would file H1B for you without you working for them for a while, but legally it is possible.
Hope that helps.
