Helo! I have petition for h1b approved for 2013. we plan to move on april 2014. However I plan to start working not earlier than november 2014. What do you think? In this case I should apply for h4 visa, noway to enter on h1b visa and start working later?
If I enter on h4 can I transfer it to h1b without leaving us?

Yes you can enter on H4 and later any employer can file a cap exempt H4 to H1. I dont see any issues.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
