Now that Ive turned in my application, can I travel outside the U.S. while I wait for the card to come?
After you graduate, in order to re-enter the U.S. you must have the following: OPT card (or receipt notice for the OPT application), your valid passport, a current F-1 visa stamp, I-20 signed within the last six months, AND your job offer letter or proof of employment. Before you graduate, you should be able to get back in to the U.S. without the OPT card as long as it is still long enough in advance of your graduation (at least one month). If you have to travel, talk to an advisor at the ISSO before you leave.
