Traveling to home country (in June) after applying H1B

[Sasikanth]

Hello everyone!

I'm currently on STEM OPT which is expiring in Dec 2014. I have a valid visa till 2018. My employer is processing my H1B visa this April with premium process. I need to travel to India in this June.

1. Will I get to know the result of my H1B application by end of April with my premium process application (As I want to travel in June)?
2. Will there be any problem if I travel to India in June whether or not if I get my H1B visa (as I have valid OPT till Dec 2014 and valid visa)?
3. If I get my H1B approved before I travel to India in June, do I need to go for H1B stamping if I come back in July (usually H1B starts from October right?).

Thanks and appreciate your responses to my questions!
