Hi all,
My OPT is currently pending, my company gave me an option to work abroad until the OPT is approved.
If I do work abroad while my OPT is pending, can I be guaranteed re-entry to US when my OPT is approved?
Thanks!

If your OPT has been approved and you depart before you get a job, your OPT ends and you cannot reenter unless you have a written job offer.
If you have a job, you may travel and reenter to resume work at the same job or you have a written offer for another job.
If your request for OPT is pending, you may reenter to search for employment.

Hi lawanwadee,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I do have a job offer already but unable to start since OPT is pending.
I want to confirm if I can still reenter the US to work at the same job (after OPT is approved), while working abroad (when OPT is pending).
