What if I want to travel outside the U.S. while my OPT card is still valid but my OPT extension is pending?
Guidance is unclear. In similar situations, when an immigration application is pending, traveling outside the U.S. may be considered as abandoning the application. Because we are uncertain at this time, we do not recommend you travel outside the U.S. until your OPT extension has been approved.
What if I want to travel outside the U.S. and my OPT card has expired and my OPT extension request is still pending?
If your OPT employment authorization has expired and your 17 month extension request is still pending, SEVP has issued guidance that you must wait to receive your new employment authorization document prior to traveling outside the U.S.
