NoSambidhan bro,
I am assuming that you are working here in F1-OPT/CPT.
If your H1b petition is approved the you will either get I-797A (I-90 attached to it) or I-797C.
If you get I-797A, it means that you got h1b and change of status as well. If you get this form then you are all set. You don't need to go back to Nepal for stamping. You can stay here and apply for GC. For this case stamping is needed only if you want to go out of country for vacation.
If you get I-797C, it means that you got H1b but your change of status is denied. In this case, you have 15 days (or 30 I forgot ) to leave US and go to Visa Consular in your home country. US consular will then issue you a new H1b visa.
tl:dr,
I-797A -> Good no need to leave country
I-797C -> Bad. Leave country immediately
Regards,
