Let me first give you a background of the situation I am in. I am a student on F-1 visa and currently doing Masters in University of Rochester. I am in my final semester now and the last day of classes is April 15th. I have applied for my OPT today. I need to be in India for family reasons between April 15th and April 30th and then come back to the U.S. Since my course will be over by then, I am planning to re-enter U.S using the OPT card. I am hoping to receive my OPT card in 2nd week of April before I go to India, in which case I will not have a problem.
Now, here is my question. Can I travel to India even if I do not receive my OPT card by April 15th and and come back to the U.S after the I receive my OPT card? I can ask my friends here in the U.S to mail my OPT card to India as soon as it arrives at my U.S address.
Thanks in advance for your input/help.
