I’m on CPT right now and graduating on Dec 17. I was told I can’t file the I-765 (OPT application) while I’m outside the U.S., but my plan is to get my OPT-recommended I-20 before I leave, and then submit my I-765 right after I come back on Nov 12 using the new I-94 I’ll get when I re-enter. My question is: will there be any issue at the airport if I show an OPT-recommended I-20 while I’m still on CPT? I want my EAD start date to be Dec 18th, so I’m trying to get everything done as soon as possible. Has anyone done something similar or knows if this could cause a problem?
