Question details
I was planning on going to India for vacation (after I graduate, before I start work) and I had some questions about whether that would be alright from an immigration stand point. My lawyers are filing my H1B visa application this April; would there be any potential issues with the application if I was to leave the US in May/June?
There are multiple issues involved in traveling.
First, if someone travels while a change of status request is pending, they will have to obtain a visa stamping or reapply for an H-1B for change of status to activate the H-1B on or after October 1.
Second, getting visa stamping is by itself a highly uncertain process that could take from days to months. The consulates reopen and dissect the entire H-1B case from the ground up and try to find any reason they can to deny the case.

Mr Rajiv Khanna and his staff are the best!! I had my green card filed through them in 2001 and their response to all my queries was always prompt and perfect! Lately, I am hiring their services for filing H1B for my newly formed company and as usual Mr Rajiv Khanna has taken personal interest and devoted his time in understanding our situation and recommending the best options. His staff is always forthcoming in helping us meet the timelines and answering our questions promptly. So much appreciated and what a pleasant experience! No wonder our first H1B was filed through him and recently was selected in the lottery. We look forward to additional Visa sponsorships from him. Awesome work, Mr Khanna! You are an inspiration for everyone. My best wishes to you and your staff!! Shashi Prakash CEO, Net Serpents www.netserpents.com www.hadoopexpress.com
