Travel to India on OPT after H1-B petition is approved but before October 1st.

[raja.pramod]

Am on my STEM OPT which expires in June 2012 and F1 Visa expires on June 27th 2011.

Is it ok if I travel to India on OPT before June 27th 2011? Also I have approved H1-B petition.

Do I need to get my H1B visa stamped to return before June 2011?

Appreciate your inputs.

Pramod.

I assume this means you plan to return to the US before June 27th right?

Thanks for your response. Yes, I will return before my Visa expiry date by June 10th 2011.

Also If I travel to India and come back with new I-94 #, is it an issue as my H1-B petition is approved with my current I-94 #?

Appreciate your time and advice.

Pramod.

Once your H-1B has been approved, you are no longer an F-1 student.
