Travel without OPT card in hand

[vkjhamb1984]

Hi Guys, I need to travel to India but I do not have OPT card in Hand but I expect it to come by 15th of January. I will make sure that I have my card while coming back to USA. My question is:
1. Do the USCIS asks for OPT card at the port of exit while leaving USA?
2. If I leave USA while my OPT is under initial review, can it affect approval of my OPT card? I mean if I leave USA, then do they STOP processing my OPT card application.
Please help me out. Thanks in advance for your support..

no.Thye wont ask for ur OPT card during EXIT.It wont affect on your application process.just make sure when you get card on your US adress .courier it to your indian adress before coming to USA

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

1 entry and exits are managed by CBP not uscis .. and it wont need anything while you going..
2 nope ( as it does not require change of status you dont have to worry about it )..

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

Go ahead n have a safe trip. You are good

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

Importantly if u don't have a job just an OPT card may not help you at entry. If u have a job make sure u take all the relevant documents from them and be ready to show at port of entry

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

They dont care about anything while we leave . It wont affect your opt processing. Just make sure u have opt n offer letter while returning. N dont enter later than your opt start date

1. USCIS don't ask about docs at airport..Its CBP and DHS
2. No for sure
