Recently, I and my wife got USA visit visa. If either of us get a job from cap exempt employer, can we immediately change status from B1/B2 to H1B?

Persons who obtain visiting visas to the U. S. are supposed to have an intent to only be visiting this country. If they take actions very soon after the date of entry, e.g. begin H-1B paperwork within 30 days of coming to the United States, there is a presumption that they had a preconceived intent to abuse the visa as they never intended to return. In such circumstance, a change of status could be denied. On the other hand, U.S.C.I.S. does allow changes of status where it does not appear that such was the purpose of the persons applying for such when they entered this country. Activities begun after the 60th day lose the presumption. This is called the 30/60 day rule.
