Does H4 to H1 Change of Status (COS) application fall under normal H1 Cap?

USA L1, L2 Visa

Hi,

I have below two queries:
1. I wanted to know whether H4 to H1 Change of Status (COS) application falls under the normal H1B Cap of 65000? 
2. How soon can one apply for COS from H4 to H1 once one arrives in US?



Any help is much appreciated.




Thanks in advance

  2. Any time, AFAIK U can apply after got selected in lottery
