@Sara - When do you need to start working ? You can be unemployed upto 90 days on OPT hence waiting for Government to open up for few days may be alright. Please do call attorneys and your DSO to make sure you are not violating any rules

Also, Could you please let me know that if I marry an American citizen but go to some other state to work, will that be a problem in applying for GC?
