EY are applying for my H1B I am currently on OPT. If all goes well and my H1B application is successful - will I be able to visit my home country over summer? Or will I have to wait until the fall to get a visa stamp before I can leave to return?

What do you mean by fall ? The only way ti get the visa stamp after H1B is to go to your home country and apply for an American visa (H1B stamp)

You can stay in the US without a stamp but can’t return if you travel unless you go get a stamp

If the H1B gets approved you can visit your home country but you won’t be able to get back in the US until you get the visa stamp at a US embassy/consulate (the one in your home country) although I’ve heard that some people are also getting their stamp at the US embassy/consulate in Canada since the waiting times to get an appointment are less than other countries.

Canada waiting time is 2024 now since everyone is going there but yes you can get one in Canada or Mexico or your home country if it’s your first stamp. Subsequent stamps can be in any country with a US embassy

Though Canada waiting time is longer you can always expedite the appt date. You can do it on the website where you schedule the appt. The same goes to when you apply for the visa stamp on your country too.
