拿到OFFER了想回国玩，想问问签证的问题

不知道~帮顶~

不是敏感专业被拒概率不大，你准备好offer和有效I-20。说实话我还没有听说这种情况被拒签的，反倒近年来回去的人多了，这类特殊情况签证的业多了，成功的例子层出不穷。

跟专业敏感不敏感没有关系。专业敏感可能导致额外的 check，但是并不影响通过率。

OPT 返签最大的隐患是学业已经完成了，进入美国的理由已不够充足。F-1 签证存在的意义是让你完成学业，而 OPT 顾名思义是 optional 的，并不是学业的必然组成部分。签证官或者海关不让你入境，并不会影响你学业的完整度，他们没有责任和义务一定要放你入境。放进来了当然好，如果不放，那也毫无办法，没有什么可以辩解的。

实际的案例中，OPT 返签的成功率是很高的，极少有出问题的概率。但是只要有这种概率，我们就不能说没事，没风险。万一赶上了，对楼主来说就是 100%。

另外，OPT 的失业时间不能超过三个月。楼主这一回国就浪费了两个多月，后面万一工作出任何闪失，就要冒着 OPT 被提前取消的危险。

OPT 返签最大的隐患 ...

任何事情都是有风险的，但不能只强调风险啊。我无非是提供另一种声音。身边还有朋友连offer都没有，只是拿着OPT回来面试，海关都没说什么。

lz在入职前回国，和年底圣诞假回去，都只能走OPT签证，没差别。而入职前相对时间宽裕得多。要想不冒这个风险，只能等一年多后明年十月H1b生效了才有机会，如果明年抽不中，那就是再等一年。

我们isso的说法：
-baidu 1point3acres如果你毕业了，但是有opt的ead卡和offer letter，那是可以回去的，low risk。
这两个缺一个，都是high risk

整个贴出来 让大家参考吧：

WHAT IF I WANT TO TRAVEL AND RETURN TO THE U.S. BEFORE GRADUATION? DO I NEED A JOB OFFER AND THE EAD IN
ORDER TO RETURN TO THE U.S.?
The answer depends upon when you travel and at what stage the OPT application is in.

Travel – before your completion date while the OPT application is either pending or approved:
Low risk. You do not need a job offer or EAD in order to travel, as long as you return to the U.S. before you have completed
degree requirements. In order to be readmitted in F-1 visa status, you need a “valid academic reason” to return. **Please
note that attending a graduation ceremony is not considered an “academic reason”. However, finishing classes, exams, or
defending your thesis are examples of a “valid academic reason”. If your application is pending, you should bring the Receipt
Notice from USCIS with you when you travel. If the application is approved, we advise you to bring your EAD card and job offer
letter, if available.

Travel –after your completion date and while the OPT application is pending:
High risk. After you have completed your program, the law [8CFR 214.2(f)(13)(ii)] references the need to show a valid
EAD/approved OPT card in order to re-enter. However, recent interpretations from SEVP (Student and Exchange Visitor
Program) and DOS (Department of State) indicate that re-entry with a pending application is possible. [DOS field cable 2004
State 008466 1/13/2004 AMDOC #200405007]. Because of conflicting guidance between the law and the interpretation of the
law, we do not recommend travel and re-entry after your completion date and while the OPT application is pending unless you
have a valid job offer. One never knows when CIS will adjudicate the OPT application, and once the application is approved, it
is clear that both a job offer and the EAD is needed (see below). We recommend reviewing and even printing out the
information on line from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) regarding travel on OPT (section 2.N and 2.O)

Travel – after your completion date and your OPT card has been approved:
High risk. Once the OPT application is approved by CIS, you MUST have an official job offer and the EAD to present at the Port
of Entry to return to the United States. Once the OPT is approved, students can only return to the U.S. to resume employment;
this is determined by a job offer. The Department of Homeland Security states, “If your OPT has been approved and you
depart before you get a job, your OPT ends and you cannot reenter.” They have clarified their position to state that you do not
need the job offer in order to depart, but you DO need the job offer to reenter the U.S.

我同意。你说的跟我说的其实没什么矛盾。我不反对楼主如果确实有要紧的事情需要回国，但是不赞同仅仅因为回去“玩玩”而引来不必要的风险。

另外，入职前后回国确实是有差别的，入职前的时间会算在 unemployment 之内，而入职后不会。
