harsha.mvenkata Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 My OPT application was denied on Feb 24th because my i20 was more than 30 days old. I have submitted a new application on 27th Feb. I graduated on Dec 31st 2013. I am currently in India. I got an extension from my employer but they are able to offer a joining date only in the first week of June this year. If my OPT gets approved in the next one or two months, will I able to travel back to US with my OPT card and join the company ? Link to comment

What about your F1 visa validity? Link to comment
harsha.mvenkata Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 My F1 visa is valid till 2017. I know that one cannot be unemployed for more than 90 days on OPT. If my OPT comes in by this month end and If I have a job offer starting from 2nd June, then I should be able to travel back to US and take the job since it will be less than 90 days from my OPT start date. Am I right ? Link to comment
