 @Parbatekanchhi,
Yes I had job offer, but I don't think you have to mention it. You do have to mention it while extending the OPT. My application was received on 11th october and got OPT card by 25th November. I had requested my OPT to start from Jan 1st though.

I had a funny situation at DMV. I moved to another state for the job which was starting Jan 2nd. Because I graduated in December (Dec 16th was the last day of college) I arrived at new place two weeks before my job started. Thinking that I should get license from that state while I still have plenty of time, I arrived at the DMV sometime between Christmas and New Year. To my surprise the lady said "We have a situation here, your I-20 says your study ended Dec 16th and you haven't stated your job. So we have to call DHS, you status might be illegal now".
