V. URGENT...INFO needed...OPT expiring but need to re-enter US

Hello,

my friend is working in a company on his OPT (which expires on May 5, 2004). He does not have a H1 (he did not make the quota). His F1 visa expires in 2005 (he was given a 5 year visa when he first came to US in 2000)

One week back, he had to rush to India because of a family emergency.

He is planning to come back to the US this weekend (April 10 - 12). Since his OPT is expiring on May 5, 2004, will he have any problems while re-entering the US?

I have heard that - If a person has very less time left on his OPT, then the immigration officials might not allow the person to re-enter the US.

But my friend has a job and he has an Offer Letter which says that he is going to work till May 5, 2004. Will the fact that he has a job contract and an Offer Letter make a good enough case to get back into the US to finish his contract?

Any information or comments will be invaluable.

Thanks a lot,
Jyothi Prasad.

hey Mr. joef
no need to be a prick.!!!..
be nice..You seem to have an awful thing to say everytime i make a comment..
it is so nice to know that you having not met me can make such a degrading comment.
i don't know you..and i would never say such a thing to you period.
You obviously have taken your prick pills today...
Aside from what i have said to joef...

Anyone reading this please..don't let it not take away from the original posting...my sincere regret that i had to say the things that i have...but no sorry for what i said to JoeF
 
Ok....i will refrain from saying anything that will in anyway makes you feel important...Clearly by responding i show you that i care about what you say ...so..take note
i will from here on ignore everything that shoots out of your mouth of rather your ass..
i will say that having you respond to me in such a distasteful way only shows that maybe we all should take your comments with a grain of salt!!!!!!!!!!!
However true they maybe...good luck ..
i am sure that i will not doubt read your amazing comments..and the many ways in which you belittle anyone and eveyone who dares to disagee.
Or who even wants to just make a brief comment on the posting..
i am not a mean person...i do wish you well.........you just need to relax..and stop judging everthign i say...or better yet what we all say...
My official last comment to joeF....
why don't you grow up or rather a spine!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:
