  OPT

Hi,
My OPT starts about 10 days from now. I am yet to graduate as i have my research study left out. I am out of the USA right now on vacation. But I may not be able to get back to USA on health grounds. What could be the complications if i stay back where I am for month or so? Can the starting date of OPT be postponed? Will it be okay with the INS?

Unfortunately OPT cannot be postponed or even cancelled. You will lose these 3 or 4 weeks that you will stay out of the country.

Make sure you have a valid visa when you return - EAD alone is not enough. Other than that I don't think you will have any problems from the INS.
