Hi all,
I am in India right now.
I had recd 5 yr student visa in sept. 2002.My student visa is valid till 02-09-2007.I completed my studies in dec. 2004 and returned on 6th feb to India.My OPT ie optional practical training period had started on 3rd jan and it is valid till 2nd jan 2006.I have my OPT card with me also.
1) I came back to India due to some personal reasons and planning to go back in may 2nd week.Is it possible to go back for OPT now.Or can I be refused at port of entry?
2) Is there any truth in the statement that if a student is on OPT period and if you leave USA then you cant go back since course work is already over?
3) Does the answer change if I am going to USA for my graduation cermony only since I had postponed it to May 05 from dec 2004.
Thanks.
Jas
