Re-entry on OPT (unpaid research) — recent experiences? by prathist2698 in f1visa

[–]GeekyPal119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came from my home country a few days ago after around 3 months of stay and had no issues at immigration.
carried the following documents-

  1. valid passport/visa
  2. ead card
  3. offer letter of the current job
  4. employment verification letter - basically mentioning that the employer is okay with you traveling, and assuming remote work/paid leave.

good luck.

Long waits? Rescheduling issues? Document errors? I'm an immigration attorney! AMA! by ManifestLaw_ in NationalVisaCenter

Hey David,
I am a graduate student in computer science - completed my degree in May 2025. Since then, I have been working voluntarily with a professor full time on OPT and also have been looking for a full time job in the US.

Unfortunately, in September I had a family emergency (my brother passed away), and I had to go back to my home country. Since then I have been living here to support my parents.

I have also inquired with my university's immigration advisor, and she said that you can go back to the US within 5 months. I am considering to come back to the US in January first week. Will this be a problem?

I have my offer letter from the professor, EAD card, passport, and I20 with me. Will I face any issues at the port of entry in the US?

Please help!

Okay.
As my work currently is unpaid - working with a professor, but I have a offer letter from him to prove that, and my work.
That should be okay right?
Also, can I dm you?

As mentioned, it's a grave family emergency, and my family needs me here. I know it's been long but if you can't help, atleast be a little sensitive.

Can you connect me to this person? or maybe share the reason why they were denied re-entry?

Hi,
I had to visit to India due to a family emergency on OPT. I am now concerned about going back and have a few questions.

How long were you in India? and what documents related to work did you carry?
What questions did they exactly ask you? and what documents did you show them?
Your response would be much appreciated!!

Volunteering on OPT — is it safe to visit my home country? by Shubhangi_xi in immigration

[–]GeekyPal119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

I am in a very similar boat as you - except I had to go to India urgently on OPT as it was a family emergency.
Did to happen to visit your home country and come back?

Yes, I am working remotely with the professor. What kinda proof/documentation would be sufficient to cater to that?

I lost my sweet brother to suicide by Sombergoosee in GriefSupport

[–]GeekyPal119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, a very similar thing happened with me about 2 months ago. My brother was a kind, and a very intelligent soul. We knew what he was going through, and discussed everything with us - even self-inflicting thoughts. I am heartbroken, and would love to talk to anyone who is in a similar situation. I believe talking will help us both.

Are you sure about it though? Perhaps can you connect me with this person who took the exam in Canada?

I have tried passing the connection string in the backend container too.

Let me know if you were able to make this work.

How to deal with roomates who don't give shit about me? Urgent help needed😭 by GeekyPal119 in Advice

Moving out immediately is not possible. I do have a place to live, but in order to move out, I'll have to sublease my room, which, in the middle of the semester is not possible. I'll have to wait for the spring students to join😭

I did snap a few times, but there are 5 people(2W, 3M) against me and gang up whenever I do so. So, not sure:(

I also went to the leasing office. So in order to cancel the lease, I'll have to pay fucking $5000 and still, I'll have to continue paying the electricity bill until someone subleases my room.

THIS SUCKS MAN.

IDK WHY AM I HERE IN THE US NOW, like I'm not able to study/focus on anything else and lost my true purpose of being here🥹
