My previous post on 5/4
I received the attorney's email that my H-1B petition has been approved with a new 1-94 card and becomes effective on Oct. 1, 09.
My previous status was F-1 visa, but it was terminated in March (a couple weeks before filing the H-1B) by the International Office of my school due to unauthorized work hours (over 20-hours per week when school was in session). The International Office doesn't support me to re-instate my F-1 for some reasons.
Do I have to travel and re-entry to effect my H-1B? Is there a problem if I'd choose to stay at the US? Will it give me a trouble for my future status petition such as green card?

According to PJiang's 谈出境＂激活＂签证, "这张 I-94 保证了你在美国境内的合法身份。" ... "即使你的身份已经有了 OOS，也并不意味着你就一定会要出境＂激活＂签证。" Given this, can I totally believe that "在境内的身份违例一笔勾销，不再对你将来调整身份 (I-485) 有任何的影响。"?
I'm afraid that the 7-month gap (March to Oct. 1st if I'd stay at the US) would give me some troubles in the future. Can PJiang or any experienced people give me any ideas? Thanks for your help.
