Since you already have an "Offer Letter" in your hand. Request USCIS to EXPEDITE the process & get the OPT card within 40 days(I'm sure you can).. Also request your employer to change the start date to December for this purpose. This will solve your problem!

You can take the approval notice, if you don't receive the card. or take the OPT application confirmation document that USCIS sends to you. You need a job offer too.

Hello all,

I want to travel to India during August/September 2014. I am on OPT & working in Oil & Gas field from October 2013. My current OPT is going to expire in September 2014 & I am applying for STEM extension in few days. My F1 VISA expired in August 2013. I would like to know if I can travel to India with OPT STEM ext-EAD card and then go to stamping at the US Consulate in India for coming back to US. Also can you please tell me what all documents are required for this thing.

Thanks!!

Hey guys,

I am sure many of you might have come across this question that I am going to ask: "Should I travel when my OPT is still pending, but I have an offer in hand". I read across many websites, and got mixed reviews and now I am seriously confused so as to what I should do. I have a signed I-20 form, I have received the notice I-797C which informs me that my I-765 application has been received. It has been 2 months now, since the application is under process. Also, I have finished my degree (2 weeks ago).

What do you guys suggest? Do you know anyone who travelled like this and had any issue or none at all?
Please share your thoughts about it.
Any sort of information is appreciated.

hello everyone
The OPT case was recieved on Nov 3rd'2014. Its more than 80 days and status is still case was recieved. i called USICS today and they generated a service request for me to check whether my case needs a biometrics test or not. I am worried is the service request made for this? I told them also that I am worried that whether this service request put an additional delay in my case. They asked me not to be worried about it. This is just to check and if the test is not required in my case then I need to wait on the decision of my OPT. What should I do now? Any suggestions? Thanks

I have the following things:

1. EAD card
2. OPT I-20
3. Unexpired visa
4. Unexpired passport
5. Offer letter with joining date

I would like to go back to India for some weeks and come back before my joining. Is it OK to leave USA even after getting my EAD card? Because most people I have heard have left before they received the EAD card but got it mailed to them in India.

Thanks in advance.

Have all the necessary documents with you. New employment offer and other job related docs are mandatory for hassle free travel.
