Don't panic if your H1B was approved but your OTP expired in September—a procedure known as a "Cap-Gap Extension" is available. With this extension, you may continue to work legally in the country while you wait for your H1B to be processed. The Cap-Gap would apply automatically if your employer submitted a petition for H1B before your OPT ended.
 
To confirm that your SEVIS record has been updated, get in touch with your university's office for foreign students. They could give you a revised I-20 form with the Cap-Gap work permission extension; if necessary, you might need to show proof of your legal status. In contrast, the extension expires right away if your H1B is rejected. You'll have to quit your job, depart the country, or look into alternative visa possibilities. As a result, you should always be ready and have a fallback plan in place in case things don't go according to plan.
 
Many US banks have begun to stop sponsoring H1B visas, which enable talented workers to find job in the nation, throughout the last few years. Talks concerning the causes of this tendency have begun. In order to fill their employment opportunities, several banks locate enough competent personnel in the United States. Banks frequently choose to recruit locally rather than go through the hassle of sponsoring an H1B visa because there are so many applicants available.
