Hi,

I have a pending H1-B applied for in early April for Start date OCt. My OPT ends in May and I have at least a 4 month gap. I was wondering if my H1B application will be abandoned (rejected) when I leave US before my OPT expires. Would I have to reapply. I have heard change of status gets rejected, but does the whole visa get rejected?

My lawyer is saying that nothing will get affected, they will send my approval form to my country when it does arrive, please let me know if my lawyer is correct.

Please let me know ASAP. Thank you.
