Hello Experts,

My 17 Months Stem Extension OPT is valid until Feb 2013 and my employer is filing H1B This year for F2013.
I want to travel to india for 3 weeks and come back on OPT EXT.

Travel perieod: April 15 , 2012 - May 7, 2012

Is there any issue my f-1 visa expires Aug 2013.
I am currently employed through a consultancy and work on 1099 Basis will this cause an issue.
Note I don't get pay stubs since on 1099 but I have the 1099 forms and my 1040 Tax Application forms. Is this an issue?

Please let me know any documents which may be asked apart from Valid Passport
1.Valid F-1 visa stamp
2.OPT I-20 endorsed by DashewCenter (each travel signature is valid for 6 months from the date it last signed)
3.Employment Authorization Document (EAD) card
4.Employment verification or offer letter.

Kind Regards,
GN
