Hi,
I am on F1 visa and graduating on may 14th,2011. My I20 also expires in May,2011. My F1 visa is valid till 2013.
Now I am leaving for India on may 15th. I am planning to return on June 1st.
1. My first question is can I reenter USA only on USA F1 visa without I20(or with expired I20)?
2. If not, I have also applied for EAD card and I will have active OPT I20. But my EAD card might come late in June. So Can I reenter USA on OPT I20 without waiting for EAD card?
3. If that not possible, I will wait for EAD card. Now suppose I got EAD card on 15th June, now can I reenter USA on 20th June, just on EAD card+OPT I20? (I don't have job offer yet.)
4. If all of those are not possible, that means I have to have job offer with EAD card to reenter USA. right?
Now forget about EAD card and job. Remember I am UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT..There are chances that I might start masters degree if I don't get a good job...I have already applied for admission..
5. So Can I reenter USA with I20 from new university(masters degree) but same F1 visa I have? And if yes, can I reenter in June or I can only enter USA on specific no of days before start of new I20.
Thanks
