急求问！！！COS approved，OPT明年6月过期 打算回国10月1日前入境

前两天收到了律师的邮件说H1b approved，之前有事情就很想很想回国但是网上查如果H1b Approve之前回国COS会被拒。现在邮件收到了Approval Notice(I-797A)（估计几天后就能收到纸质版）看到I-797A上面说的是above petition and COS have been approved。我很想回国但是怕check等时间太长(据说现在普遍会被check然后等4周+)于是想在H1b生效之前回国听说这样不用面签H1b。

昨天为了保险发邮件咨询了律师这个月能不能回国再在今年10月1日之前回来，因为网上说的是只要H1b批准并且在OPT失效前H1b生效前都可以用F1出境再以F1入境，但是今天律师说现在回去也要办签证，给的理由是：If you travel this month, you will need to apply for an H-1B visa at the U.S. consulate/embassy before you return to the U.S. We would not want CBP to admit you in F-1 status at this point since that would be the “last action” taken by a government agency and your H-1B status would not take effect as of October 1 if that was the case.  大意是COS不会生效？

想问问地里的朋友们我的律师说的对不对？现在出境10月1日前入境是不是会有什么风险？有没有地里的朋友们有相似的经历，如果可以出境的话入境要带什么文件吗？万分感谢！！！！！！

祝各位签证申请和回国面签顺利！！！

可以 和你情况一致，ead卡和i20，我还准备了公司的paycheck和employment letter， 都没用上

13. I am currently in a valid period of ‍‍‍‌‌‌‍‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‌OPT and I have a valid employment authorization document. Is international travel possible if my change of status petition has been approved?

Yes, if you are in a valid period of OPT (whether it is an initial grant or a STEM extension), have a valid EAD, and your change of status to H-1B has been approved before you leave, you should be able to return to the United States in F-1 status, as long as you have the appropriate documents and are able to show visa and immigration officers that you intend to comply with F-1 rules, including having nonimmigrant intent. If your H-1B change of status is approved before you depart the United States, the change of status will take effect on October 1 as long as you have returned to the United States before that day.

问了HR也说technically possible.

可以的 我是类似情况 刚刚顺利回来 过关的时候给他看ead卡和i20就行 他都没有问我h1b 求加米
