    Travel to india on OPT but when H1B visa is in pending status
    I have few questions regarding travel to India on OPT Status and when H1B visa is filed and not yet approved.

    1] I am thinking of going to my home country, India in July 2012 and come back by July end or 1st week of August.

    I would be on OPT in July 2012, but I have applied for H1B visa. I would be on H1 B from October 1st, 2012.

    How safe is it to go to India and re-enter USA when my H1B is in pending
    Status? And what if, if my H1B is approved in that period?
    Is there any sort of risk at the port of entry?

    2] How safe it is go to India and come back to USA when I would be on H1B status or when I get approval notice of the H1B visa?

    3] Which is more safer going to India and coming back to USA when I am on OPT and H1B visa is filed or when I get the H1B approval notice?

    Hoping to hear from you soon.
