🌍 Can You Travel Outside the USA with an Expired Student Visa but a Valid Work Permit? 🇺🇸✈️

Yes, it’s possible! If you are on Optional Practical Training (OPT) and hold a valid Employment Authorization Document (EAD), you may travel outside the U.S. and re-enter—provided you meet certain requirements.

✅ What You Need to Re-enter the U.S.:✔️ A valid EAD card✔️ A Form I-20 signed by your Designated School Official (DSO) for travel✔️ A valid passport (valid for at least six months beyond your return date)✔️ A valid F-1 visa (if expired, you must apply for a new one before returning)✔️ A letter from your employer confirming your job offer or ongoing employment

⚠️ Important Notes:🔹 If your F-1 visa is expired, you’ll need to apply for a new one at a U.S. consulate abroad before returning.🔹 Travel risks include potential visa delays or denials, so consult with your DSO and an immigration attorney before making plans.🔹 If you are on STEM OPT, make sure your extension is properly documented before traveling.
