  1. Your H1B employer would take care of the I-9 update as they know you will be starting.
  2. Yes, she can.
  3. Yes, you can. The better thing to do is get H1B stamping, when you travel and re-enter US on H1B.
    When you enter, you should hand over your H1B approval notice to the CBP officer at Port of entyr, they will tag your entry as H1B and give you I-94 accordingly. You can only enter 10 days before October 1st on h1B.
  4. You would not qualify for dropbox as it is different visa type.
  5. Read H1B Visa Stamping Experiences, we have a lot of h1B experiences
  6. You can carry that.
  7. Yes,
  8. Yes, everyone needs h1B stamping. Check the stamping experiences
