Travel with STEM OPT Extension pending
I am on F1 post completion OPT right now. My F1 visa is valid till Jan 2020. My OPT EAD expired on 24th Jan 2017. USCIS received my STEM Extension application on 12th Dec 2016 and it is still pending. I have a family emergency and need to travel urgently to India. My employer have filed permanent residency application, Perm is approved, I-140 is filed in Dec & still pending. I have I20 endorsed from school with STEM extension dates.
What are risks for my re-entry to US? Will they allow me re-enter without STEM extension OPT EAD card?
My employer immigration attorney says i can re-enter based on my I797 receipt date without my STEM extension OPT EAD card. But there is slight risk they may not allow me to enter.
I am carrying following documents with me:
Passport valid for 2yrs, Valid F1 visa, Expired EAD Card, I-797C receipt notice for STEM OPT application, I-20 with travel endorsement, Employee badge from my employer,
3 recent pay stubs.
I would really appreciate your response from anyone who went in similar situation or familiar with the situation.
Thank you in advance
