Cardinal, What is your SOURCE for your statement??? Mine if taken from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's website. Now why would they lie? Check it out. http://www.ice.gov/graphics/sevis/travel/faq_f2.htm#_Toc81222042 2.N. Can I reenter if my request for OPT is pending? Yes, you may reenter to search for employment. 2.O. Can I reenter if I left while on OPT? If your OPT has been approved and you depart before you get a job, your OPT ends and you cannot reenter. If you have a job, you may travel and reenter to resume work at the same job. I think your are refering to the question 2.O. If I am mistaken please tell me your SOURCE for your info? Thanks.
