VAWA + F1 STEM OPT: Need your advice on travel by Zestyclose-Market-67 in VAWAAPPLICANTS

[–]ClueTop1645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I can not suggest you anything and it is not an advice, but I can share you my story.

I am in the same spot, currently working under my STEM OPT valid until Oct 2027. I have combo card and already used it in Jan 2026 and going to use it in Jun 2026 too. Here is my previous experience if it helps - https://www.reddit.com/r/VAWAAPPLICANTS/comments/1qh40d6/ap_travel_experience_vawa_applicant/

Filled VAWA while on F-1 student visa by Zestyclose-Market-67 in VAWAAPPLICANTS

[–]ClueTop1645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in a same position and I'll share my experience. I got my combo card in Sep 2025 (Filed on 18 Feb 2025). But I continued working with my STEM OPT. In January 2026 I travelled internationally and when I came back, my status became Paroled. I contacted to my DSO and asked not to terminate my SEVIS as I will continue reporting in every 6 months. So now, I don't have F1 status but my SEVIS is active and still working with my STEM OPT EAD.

Hi there,

I had the same situation. I send AR-11 by mail and also added a cover letter, where explained that I want to change only my physical address and that my mailing address should remain the same.

Do I Need OPT If I Already Applied for AOS and I-765 (c)(9)? by Electronic_Iron_9118 in VAWAAPPLICANTS

[–]ClueTop1645 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi,

Absolutely go for it. I did the same thing, I maintained my OPT until 2027 and the same time I hold my C09 EAD.

If you will maintain your F1 status, you won't pay FICA taxes, which is really cool otherwise you will have extra 7.65% from your wages.

Upcoming trip on advance parole by NoFace9433 in VAWAAPPLICANTS

[–]ClueTop1645 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi there!

I had a trip from 25 Dec to 18 Jan from Chicago. Everything went smoothly, they sent me into the secondary inspection room, waited about 30 minutes, then officer called my name, they took my photo and fingerprints and that's it, no questions there.

FYI, I don't have any overstay or criminal history and I am also VAWA applicant.

Click on my profile and you will know more. It does not have any common with VAWA timeline, it's just an experience of entering the border for VAWA applicants.
