@Vanessa – Having MBA and job of server doesn’t go well. There are many students who came to US even without Job offer during OPT. Si, it really depends on your situation at Port of Entry. You can travel before OPT start date. If you still have concerns, consult an immigration attorney.

I would say enroll in a vocational school which will provide you with an I-20 And that should take care of your cap.

Well, I was in your same situation and I went to India. I did not have any question at the port of entry. But it is recommended you have a valid F1 visa, I20 with OPT, Job offer letter and EAD

Leaving the country while on OPT is not advisable. You can still go if its an emergency, but you should avoid it if you can. You might face some problems at the port of entry as its hard to explain why are you returning to the US with only fews days left on the visa. So unless its absolutely neccessary, it is not advised.

Hi,

I will be completing my MBA in March 31, 2009 and will be in OPT status from April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010. I need to visit India in next couple of months, please let me know that if we can visit our home country during OPT, will it create any problem while returning to US.

Thanks.
