Hi,
My friend had an emergency and traveled to India. He graduated in this summer, Aug 8th 2014. Applied for his OPT with a start date as Sept 1st. But he had to leave India on Aug 25. OPT card still not received. He has a co-op position starting from Sep 1st. But, Office of International Student Services(OISS) at our university says - intern offer letter is good to re-enter US only when a student is on CPT and holds valid I 20 but not when in OPT. So for that reason he chose to get an offer from consultancy offering full time position starting from Oct 1st. I-20 already expired on Aug 18, 2014.
Return date for the journey is booked on Sept 13.
The question is:
Can he return US with following documents?
- USCIS receipt of application for employment authorization
- An offer letter stating full time position starting from Oct 1st.
- Expired I-20
- Valid F-1 visa
Your suggestions are really helpful.
Thanks in Advance.
