Folks who have traveled on opt, please share your experience. My friend wants to travel to India and she is on opt ead, in search of a job still, she has just an offer letter from a no-name start up with no pay… is it safe to travel, what questions could she expect at immigration? tc: 150
I wouldn’t. First make sure she’s cleared with her school, they control the approval. But on the way back, the officer may ask what she’s doing in the states, and see past 4 paystubs. I never got asked the paystubs but plenty of times I got asked what my job was and what I was doing at my job, so if she wants to take the risk, she better have a good story.
Thank you
