I c. u have valid visa, that's good. it seems ur opt has been approved, I don't see any issues, coz u will not apply for visa anywhere, therefore, nobody will check ur status.

That was also what I thought first. But when I checked this issue with the international students office of my school, they said it was likely that the immigration officer at the US custom might reject my entry~~

So kind of confused...

What about traveling abroad after I have completed my studies and while I hold practical training status? If you have completed your course of study and have received your USCIS authorization for practical training (your EAD card), you may travel abroad and re-enter the U.S. in F-1 status. You will need the following documents for your re-entry: (1) a valid passport, (2) a valid F-1 visa stamp in your passport, (3) the new SEVIS I-20 recommending optional practical training (4) your original practical training Employment Authorization Document (EAD) issued by the USCIS and (5) proof that you have a job in the U.S. appropriate for practical training and that you are returning to the U.S. to resume or start this employment. If you do not have all of these documents you should NOT travel abroad without first consulting an OISS advisor. (An expired F-1 visa can pose a problem; it may be difficult to renew your F-1 visa while you are on practical training.)
