t75 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 You must have a valid OPT/OPTEXT to enter the US. Link to comment
RPC1 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 You must have a valid OPT/OPTEXT to enter the US. In the initial review what is it showing? something like this ? Initial Review On May 28, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I765, APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION. Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case. Please wait until the end of normal processing time before calling customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for live assistance.

ashakell Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Its not advisable to travel when any of the immigration visa status is in process, Opt ext is a via requesting USCIS to extend the work period and will be applying your H1B soon. when you visit outside US your application will be terminated.(since is says you are not intrested to work anymore) Link to comment
