H1B Cap-Gap Travel Checker

Check if it's safe to travel internationally during H1B cap-gap. Understand abandonment risk, visa stamp requirements, and reentry scenarios.

What This Tool Shows You

Traveling outside the US during cap-gap terminates cap-gap protection
If H1B is pending: departing after OPT expires = abandonment of COS
If H1B is approved: can travel with valid H1B visa stamp for reentry
No visa stamp = cannot reenter the US after departing during cap-gap
Do not travel during cap-gap unless H1B is already approved with valid stamp
