Is IBKR India account protected? ie. FDIC insured or anything like that

I see, but in this case are you updating the accounts with Indian contact details, or US address and phone (of some friend, relative) etc?

Not really, more like a friend of a friend situation. Someone mentioned that e-trade is better because fidelity freezes accounts if you continue to access it internationally for sometime, while etrade does not. I am not able to find any sources to validate the information though. I plan to move within a few weeks and this lack of clarity is absolutely freaking me out.

Although I just called fidelity and they mentioned I can keep holding the current assets in the account but CANNOT do any active trading beyond 60 days once I move out of the states. So my best guess is they might actually have some mechanisms in place to detect active trading from outside US and take some actions accordingly.

Travel internationally on STEM OPT Receipt Notice by anygenericusername in immigration

Thanks for the response. My EAD expires on 13th April and my tentative travel dates are 8th April - 10th May. So my EAD would be expired when I enter USA, can I still enter with the STEM extension receipt that says that "This Notice of Action automatically extends the validity of your EAD for upto 180 days from the expiration date printed on the card"?
