Naseer Khan Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hi, I am currently on OPT EAD which is valid until 2019 December and employed in my related field. I am planning to Travel to India after filing for H1B on April 2nd 2018. I have a few questions: 1) What happens to my H1B if I travel in April or May (after filing for H1B), would my H1B application be abandoned? 2) If travel is allowed, What is the recommended time for travel? Is it safe to travel in this situation? What is the recommended time for travel in this scenario? Any advise is greatly appreciated. Thank You! Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 1. The H1 petition will always be decided on merits. If you leave before approval there will be no change of status and hence you will need a H1 visa at the appropriate time. Link to comment
Naseer Khan Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Would I still be able to re-enter into the US on F1 (OPT EAD) visa? if returning in May / June 2018. Thanks for the quick response. Link to comment
