My STEM OPT was approved about 1-2 months ago and H-1B was approved like 3 weeks ago. I didn't ask for H1B Cap Gap I-20 since I thought STEM OPT was good enough for the period till Oct 1st.
1) Am I automatically considered in H1B Cap Gap regardless of my STEM OPT? Or just STEM OPT till Oct 1st, and then H-1B
2) Do I need to ask for new I-20 from my school or let them know about my H1B approval?
3) I want to go abroad in first 2 weeks of September. Is it safe to do this with my STEM OPT I-20? Or do I need to get a H-1B stamp in consulate and travel only after Oct 1st?
Thanks a lot for your help
