The H1 is such work authorization. The legend is only removed once you
have unrestricted work authorization, i.e., a Greencard.
The legend essentially alerts any employer that you have to provide
evidence of your work eligibility when you start working.
You will have to fill out the form I-9 for your employer. During that
process, your employer will verify that you have work authorization.
You usually have to present the I-94 showing that you are in valid H1 status.
