old H1b expires just few days before new one could be filed

[bansi83]

I am changing my job which requires me to get a new license from a different state to start a practice. my new visa cannot be filed until I have the new license.
My old visa expires on 30th of June and there is a strong chance that my new practice license would not arrive before that hence lawyers can not file for a new visa before that. so after 30th of June I will be out of status.
I want to know if it is possible to stay extra for few days as I am expecting to get my license within few days but after 30th of June.
Or is there any other way around it, i.e. can I get an extension based on this reason.
Or can lawyers file a little early and say they will give provide license number as soon as they get.
I am not sure what would be the best course of action here, so I have posted this thread here and I would really appreciate if somebody could quickly reply in this regard.

It is better if your company's lawyers file the petition without the license and send the license later as a response to RFE.

Is old B1 visa valid after issuance of H1b??

Another question I need to ask.
I had a B1/B2 VISA with 10year validity BEFORE MY h1B VISA WAS ISSUED. my H1b expires on 30th June. Would the B1 visa still be valid after the H1b expires.
