Travel with a Cap Gap I-20
Students cannot travel outside the U.S. unless the EAD card (OPT card) is valid while on the Cap Gap extension. However, the student may choose to leave the U.S. and obtain an H-1B visa to return to the U.S. and begin employment as an H-1B. The student will not be able to enter the U.S. except 10 days prior to the October 1 start date.
