If you have applied for a STEM OPT extension, but you have not yet
received the new OPT card, you may be able to re-enter the U.S. if your
current period of OPT is unexpired when you re-enter, and you have proof
of the filing of the STEM OPT application (the receipt notice from the
government, and a copy of the application packet). In addition, you
should have proof of temporary employment with an E-Verify employer.
Note that you would also need a valid F-1 student visa to re-enter the
U.S.
If you have applied for the STEM OPT
card, and have not received it, and your current period of OPT has
expired, it may be very risky to travel and re-enter the U.S., as you
will not have the new OPT work card in your possession. If you must
travel, be sure to have your proof of the filing of the STEM OPT
application (the receipt notice from the government, and a copy of the
application packet). In addition, you should have proof of temporary
employment with an E-Verify employer. Again, this typoe of travel could
be *very* risky.
