This is the USCIS fiscal year, so all visas must be approved in time to begin working then. You may not enter the United States until ten days before your employment is contracted to begin. The visa begins on the first day you enter the U.S. and lasts for an initial three years, for six years maximum. All H-1B visa roles end on September 30, the year the visa expires.
