Meeraj is correct. Just to add few.
- talk to your International Student office about your situation. They should be helpful. Be transparent.

What are my options during the gap from EAD expiration until October 1, 2012?
-The CIS has published a rule to provide for a “cap gap”, which will automatically extend the OPT period for
beneficiaries of pending H-1B petitions. The rule states that anyone who was selected for the H-1B lottery and is granted an H-1B change of status would be eligible to continue to work between the time of their EAD expiration and the October 1 start date of the H-1B. The student is encouraged to check in with the respective Designated School Official (DSO) of their school to inform them that they were selected for the H-1B. The DSO may need to report this to the appropriate F-1 authorities. and this is the information that i have.
