H1B Visa Applied - Do not Travel between April and October

If your employer has filed an H1B petition and basically which means there is a request of change in status from April, it is recommended that you should not travel outside United States from April to October. 


According to the Immigration rules and norms if you leave the country and travel outside USA while a change of status is pending you will be out of status. It makes perfect sense because when you are outside the country then you are not in any status. So if you leave the country with a change of status request pending your H1b approval will be issued without an I-94.

Also it is not recommended even if you receive the notification that your change of status is approved and then you leave the country. 

Its a huge risk to travel when a change of status is requested and it is in a pending stage. Always plan your travel before or after the April- October period. I know that vacation and seeing your family sounds really nice but don't risk it. Travel after October 1st and get the visa stamped or travel before April and come back to US before April 1.
