Hi..
I have a few qtns
1. I am presently on a F1 visa and am a Masters student in Illinois. Will be done by August 07. But the course in summer is just a 1 credit hr pre-req(compulsary)..my core courses are done. I want to go to india for a month May 12th 07 to june 15th 07. But I need to apply for my OPT before I leave since I have a job which i must join by sept4th 07 and i cant take a chance by applying after I'm back here from the holiday.
Will i have any problems at immigration? I have a duplicate copy of the offer letter which i can take with me. So with an I20 stating that i have one more compulsary course in summer to complete, a job offer letter copy and if i also have the receipt of applying for opt starting sept 4th, am i likely to get stopped at the point of entry??
please let me know asap.
Is it true that if I apply for the OPT and get the receipt , that will reflect on my I-20?
What would be my best way home and back. I have to join the company by sept 4th failing which I will lose the job.
my H1B will be filed next yr by the same company as this yrs quota is completed.
Expert adviceis needed.
