Once your OPT is approved, and you possess your Employment Authorization Document (EAD) card, you have the flexibility to travel abroad. You are permitted to return to the United States in F-1 status either prior to or after the designated start date on your EAD card.
We offer flexible, tiered subscriptions for attorneys and firms.
You can cancel anytime via your account or support. Cancellations take effect at the end of your billing cycle—no partial refunds, but if canceled during the free trial, your access ends immediately without charges. See our Cancellation Policy.
It is advisable not to travel outside of the U.S. while the H-1B petition is pending as it may complicate your work authorization eligibility/immigration status.

BeyondH1B integrates with your current case management tools to handle the most time-consuming parts of immigration work: case assessments, evidence gathering, and report generation.
Firms typically save 10–20 hours per case, enabling faster eligibility answers, clearer timelines, and stronger petitions. Clients benefit from more transparency and confidence, while attorneys spend more time on advocacy instead of admin.
Over time, this shift from reactive to proactive practice leads to greater efficiency, happier clients, and improved case outcomes.
To improve your chances of selection in the H-1B lottery:
- Obtain a master’s degree. You can qualify for the H-1B under the master’s cap.
- If you work for multiple employers, each employer can file your H-1B thereby increasing your likelihood of selection.
- Ensure that your initial H-1B registration is completed properly by the registration deadline.
- If you work for multiple employers, have each employer file your H-1B application.
Multiple employers can file your H-1B application; however, each employer can file only one application on your behalf.
You have the option to work for multiple employers, as long as all employment is connected to your academic degree program.
The cap-gap extension allows for some F-1 students to extend their F-1 status and/or authorized period of post-completion OPT until they transition to the H-1B status on Oct 1. The cap refers to the limit on the number of individuals who can receive H-1B status every fiscal year. The gap is the period between the end of an individual's F-1 status and the beginning of the individual's H-1B status.
