Here's my situation: I'm currently working in US by using OPT extension and my OPT extension is valid until 05/01/2014. My company will apply H1B for me on 04/01/2013 by premium process. Let's say my H1B will be approved by this summer.
My question is,
1. I would like to leave US to my home country (China) this September (09/28/2013) and come back to US on 10/20/2013. Can I get the H1B visa stamp in China? Is there any bad influence on my COS?
2. If I apply H1B visa stamp in China on Sep 30th (before H1B effective date), will there be any issue I should take into consideration?
3. Beside 2 questions above, if I want to travel to Canada and stay there for a week in August, do I need to have valid visa stamp to come back to US? My current F1 visa stamp is expired. (This expired F1 visa was from my first school in US. I transferred to another school and got the OPT after finishing it. I did not come out of US since I came in US 4 years ago.)
Thanks in advance for your ideas!
