H1B抽中之后，生效之前的身份问题

我的OPT五月底到期，同时申请了OPT extension （假设我的OPT能下来，即使可能会延期到6月之后）。公司给抽了H1B，如果五月份被抽中了，那么我的OPT身份在10月一号之前就自动变成CAP GAP状态了吗还是继续是OPT身份？

因为我想暑假跳槽，所以目前公司有没有抽中H1B对我来说都不重要了，我也不能等到10月一号再去transfer H1B。所以如果抽中了，我能在10月一号之前继续使用OPT工作而不是CAP GAP状态来工作吗？我需要主动联系公司，告知他们这段时间让我继续OPT而不是CAP GAP工作吗？

谢谢了

Changes in Employment

Laid Off/Termination from H-1B employer: If the student has an approved H-1B petition and change of status, but is laid off/terminated by the H-1B employer before the effective date, and the student has an unexpired EAD issued for post-completion OPT, the student can retrieve any unused OPT. The student will remain in F-1 status and can continue his or her OPT using the unexpired EAD. The student also needs to make sure that USCIS receives a withdrawal request from the petitioner before the H-1B change of status effective date. This will prevent the student from changing to H-1B status. Once the petition has been revoked or withdrawn, the student must provide his or her DSO with a copy of the USCIS acknowledgement of withdrawal (i.e., the notice of revocation). The DSO may then request a data fix in SEVIS, to prevent the student from being terminated in SEVIS on the H-1B effective date, by contacting the SEVIS helpdesk.

If USCIS does not receive the withdrawal request prior to the H-1B petition change of status effective date, then the student will need to stop working, file Form I-539, Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status, to request reinstatement, and wait until the reinstatement request is approved, before resuming employment.

Student finds a new H-1B job: The student can continue working with his or her approved EAD while the data fix in SEVIS is pending if the (former) H-1B employer timely withdrew the H-1B petition and the following conditions are true:

• The student finds employment appropriate to his or her OPT;
• The period of OPT is unexpired; and
• The DSO has requested a data fix in SEVIS.
  

Note: If the student had to file Form I-539 to request reinstatement to F-1 student status, the student may not work or attend classes until the reinstatement is approved.

大致意思就是暑假期间知道H1B被抽中了，但是在10月一号之前又离职了，那么就可以接着使用OPT去下一家公司上班，当然需要去file withdraw，联系学校之类的

cap gap本质不是OPT吗？身份也是F1呀，到了10月1号h1b生效之后身份才转换吧

这样如果抽中了还是等transfer比较保险吧，不知道如果没到10月生效离职了用OPT，等到了新公司是不是还得再抽一次

我当时不明白，以为抽中h1b，我的opt就自动在10.1结束，然后期间跳槽的话，只能在新公司工作到10.1。但是现在看来取消h1b之后，我原来的opt也会回来了

没办法等到十月去，不清楚抽中之后就能立即在暑假transfer
