I finished my Bachelors and masters from US and now I am on OPT. I am working now and my company is filing for my H1 (in the extra 20,000 H1 for US Masters or higher degree holders catagory, application process start from may 12th). My OPT expires on June 30th. I need to go to Canada by June 4th for 4/5 days. Will I have problem coming back and resuming my work? I don't think, I will have my H1 by then.
My F1 visa has expired but I have-
1. Valid EAD good till June 30th
2. Valid passport
3. Valid I-20
4. I can take letter from my employer and I will have the pay stubs.

Have anyone faced similar situation? Or have some information and can shed some light on this matter?
I will really appreciate any input.

Thanks,
Monika
 
you can travel to Canada for upto 30 days and you don't need a visa to come back. Make sure you DON"T turn in your I-94 when you exit the States. You will need it to come back. Don't forget to get I-20 signed just in case.
