STEM extension travel

[vinit1989]

Hi,

I had my opt approved and I received my card with a mistake in my name. So I sent it back for correction before 1 week. Now They say it may take a month just for the response on the document i sent.
I wanted to go to India in the last week of Feb and return in the 3rd week of march. Will there be any problem while returning if I dont have the EAD card with me.

I called USCIS regarding this and they say EAD is not required for re entry. But some of my friends were asked to show their EAD at the immigration. Please suggest me what I can do now.

1 nope you can come back but you have to explain them about that situation ..
2 yes uscis is true .. even CBP says that ..

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

my EAD has this typed on it"not valid for reentry to US"

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

I entered US recently without the ead.. My ead card processing got delayed and took more than 90 days.. I left India on the 96th day and the same day the status went into card production.. The immigration officer just asked for the i20 and asked me what company I was working for and if my major relates to my work.. Answer all questions confidently and they won't bother you.. All the best.. Don't worry

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

No need of EAD card. They asked me I-20 and visa!
