Travel on OPT, With approved on H1B but not Stamped H1B

[visu_usah1]

My 17 month OPT ends in Jan’2015 and I will be filing my Premium Process H1B in April 2014 and I need to travel to India for sure during the month of June/July (2014).

Hoping my H1b got approved in lot and got the I-797.

 

So I will be travelling before my H1b start date which will be October 1st 2014,

 

I just want to make sure there will not be any problem in the POE for me while reentering US with the valid OPT and not Stamped H1b but with approved H1b.

No problem as long as your F1 visa is valid. Otherwise you have to apply for a F1 visa to re-enter US after your visit to India.

You might be having problems with your I94.

If you have an Oct 1 H1B I-94 in hand before you leave, you will be able to begin working on H1B without stamping.

 

Whether you will be allowed to enter on OPT with F1 stamping will be determined at the border. Entry is never guaranteed.
