I have a similar question. In my case, i have a unavoidable situation to travel out of USA. But my to be employer has asked me not to travel outside USA. Is there a way out of this?

If your H1B petition is filed as change of status (COS) during your stay in US and if you travel before a decision is taken then your COS part of H1B petition is considered abandoned due to your travel. To start working from 1st Oct you will need to enter with a valid H1B visa and I797.

Alternatively, your H1B can be filed in premium processing (15 days to get decision) and you might get a decision before your travel.
