you can try doing this. take u'r I797 C notice of action slip to the international student advisor office and ask him to write a letter explaining u'r OPT is already active and valid but u havent received it yet its on its way. If that dont work u'r advisor might provide u other suggestion like contacting USCIS (or whoever) to fax a temporaryucopy of work permit to show it to u'r employer.

I dont have any slip about the I797 but I have already received the SRC no. Is SRC no. the authorisation to work? Can I start job with SRC no.? Thanks

as far as i know , you need to show your employer the copy of the EAD card.

I am not sure but I guess you will have to wait unless the case is already approved. As long as its pending, you are not allowed to work.

Just show your I20 to your employer which has been issued for OPT.

Hi Sajivan, Will that work? I havent heard about that before. And is there any way that I can expediate the OPT? Thanks

Sajhaa, "DONOT START WORK BEFORE RECEIVING UR OPT CARD" And I repeat "DONOT START WORK BEFORE RECEIVING UR OPT CARD" I had the same situation. Letter from College, Your I797 receipt,Your I20 with OPT endorsed , it's not going to help. I was almost starrting the job before the OPT card in hand but i didn't do that and made a good decision. Wait for some time..
