coming back to the US on F-1 while OPT is processed

[tokori 0]

My husband graduated in December 2007 and hasn't received his OPT yet because some of the application was missing when sent in (a photo). He is due to return to the US next week but doesn't have the OPT card yet. Just the F-1 which is missing the 'stamp' from the school as he is no longer a student but he has the 1-20 form and I-797.

has anyone managed to come back into the US while the OPT is being processed and not have it void completely? We can't find anything online about it that is black and white.

You have this in AOS forum. Have you filed for a visa for him (K-3) to adjust from? Are you adjusting from the F-1? Did you apply for AP with the AOS in order to travel out of country while waiting for AOS.

no, we haven't begun any AOS process because we are unsure still of where we are going to live and dont want to apply for immigration until we decide what country to move to.

right now he is and has been here on his F-1 until we decide where we want to settle
