Status problem

Hello everyone,

Could everybody help me with this situation. Sorry I cannot type chinese. Here is my situation.

I used to work in US with TN visa. My company file for H1b this year and it got approved in April with a attached I-94 which is not valid until October 1, 2009. Since my TN visa expireation date is August 12, my company file the extention of the TN visa to be valid until november 11.

I remember I need to go to the border to get a new I-94 in order to transfer back to H1b. But my lawyer said it's not necessary. I am already in H1B status after October 1. 2009. To confirm with what he said, I called the USCIS and somebody told me my h1b I-94 kicked in on Octover 1 and I should be on h1b now.

It's different from what I heard from many people before so I want to double check with you guys here. I am planning traveling outside of US at the end of December. I really don't want to run into any trouble when I enter US on my way back.

Thanks you so much for your help.
