H4-F1-OPT- India Travel, No F1 Visa stamp so far, shall we get "F1-OPT" VISA ?

[asitverma]

My wife came here on H4 Visa and then she changed it to F1 and recently finished her Masters and she has been working on OPT from May 2011. During her F1 status she never bee to India which mean she doesn’t have any F1 visa stamping on her passport.
My Que- Her OPT Is valid for 29 months and we thought of going to India in August 2011, so is it possible to get an F1-OPT Visa stamp even though she is not in school any more ? I never heard anything like “F1—OPT” visa but per her school she will get that kind of Visa. Please suggest.
Her currently current company doesn’t do any H1B sponsorship.
