    OPT ,h1b gap
    Hi,
    So my OPT expires in June 2007 and my H1b doesn't start until October 2007. I'm suppose to leave the country 60 days after my opt expires and re-enter after October 2007.Is there another option to avoid leaving the country?

    That's what H1B is, a working visa sponsored by a US company.

    Well if your OPT is expiring this month, just apply for a visitor's visa, you couldn't work until October though.
