Reach IAF prior to being cleared for approach

Let's assume I'm on the following approach: RNAV (GPS) RWY 17

ATC clears me direct to BECAR for the approach and descends me to 3000. What am I supposed to do if I reach BECAR before anyone clears me for the approach? Would I just proceed inbound on the approach and await a clearance, or if I see that I am going to cross it without an approach clearance should I query ATC?

Thanks
