Can I leave America before OPT starts? The visa has not expired.

Risk, OPT identity is based on your F 1 visa.

The previous I20 expired on May 18, 2008, and you chose to start OPT 60 days after graduation. During this 60-day period, your F 1 visa has no entry validity, and the risk of customs refusing your entry is great (all kinds of visas are valid and you can legally stay in the United States, but this period does not mean that the customs can let you enter unconditionally).

When you leave the United States for entry, you need to re-sign a visa. At present, the pass rate of such visas is not very high.

In addition, even if you leave the United States during the OPT period, you need the work record and income certificate provided by the company to re-visa, but the risk of refusal is also great.

OPT is an additional benefit provided by the US government after F 1. Because it is an internship opportunity after studying, I think it is very possible to go to the embassy to sign F 1 again during this period.
