1.If you are going to completely transfer over to a cap subject H-1B from a cap exempt you are going to start on October 1st, no earlier.
2. No.
3. Do not have the employer file an H-1B unless there is a specific project.
4. Yes that is still accurate.
5. The answer is yes, because you are carrying your priority date forward.
6. If you are working for a cap exempt employer you can actually concurrently work for a cap subject employer as long as it is a concurrent H-1B.

It was a nice experience. The application was filed in a timely manner. The USCIS did not request any RFE and bottom line is that the lawyers got the work done.
Thank You Joy.
