Urgent travel to India while OPT Extension Pending.

[smisra1988]

Hello Friends,

I need to travel to India on January 27, 2016 urgently and will return on February 22, 2016. My current OPT expires on February 1, 2016 and OPT Extension status is still 'Case was received on November 9, 2015'

Please assist me with following questions,
I will be expediting the process on 25th Jan, since then 75 processing days will be completed by then. So expecting my EAD by 10-11 Jan. This will be mailed to me in India before returning to US. I will carry all relevant documents including employment letter, paystub, I-20 with OPT extension and new EAD card. Please let me know if this is all fine.

What kind of risks are involved in traveling this time.

Thank you for your kind consideration into this matter and looking forward for your prompt response.

You are not supposed to travel while the STEM OPT is pending if the current OPT has expired. Your STEM OPT application may be denied.
