我不是很懂，也有可能是你这样的.不过opt requested了也不算递交了申请吧，应该是按i797发了算的吧。uscis ...

不需要，根据USCIS网站上的信心，旧opt ead和updated i 20就足够证明了，180天以后必须有卡才能工作，你的case问题出在HR，是HR坑你了，我也遇到类似问题，还在争端中，哎
我没权限发链接, 你招这个顺序是USCIS网站看Home---I-9---Central Complete & Correct Form----I-9 Completing Section 1, Employee Information and Attestation Foreign Academic Students
The following documents establish the student’s identity and employment authorization for Form I-9 purposes:

Unexpired EAD (List A); or
Expired EAD presented with Form I-20 endorsed by the student’s designated school official (DSO)(List A). This is acceptable for 180 days from the expiration date on the EAD, after which you must reverify the student’s work authorization.
If the student presents an expired EAD and an endorsed Form I-20 as described above, you should enter the following information under List A in Section 2 of Form I-9:

EAD as the document title;
DHS as the issuing authority;
The EAD document number;
The date the EAD expired in the expiration date space, and
“180-day Ext.”
