Hello,

I am currently on OPT and my H-1B got picked in FY18 lottery today. I have to travel to India in May 2017. I have OPT until Dec 2018 and valid F-1 stamping. Can I travel to India and come back iif my application is approved before my return ?

Will there be a problem if my application is approved ? Or I can  return before my application is approved.

If you go out of country your change of status (F-1 to H-1) will be abandoned. Your H-1 will be approved but you need to go out of the country and come back with a H-1 stamping 10 days before the start date.
