Can I visit India between the time gap of graduating and joining job?

I am graduating from a US university with a Bachelor’s degree this May. I have accepted a job offer starting in June. I plan to visit India for three weeks between graduation and the start of my employment.

I have already received approval for my Optional Practical Training (OPT) and have my Employment Authorization Document (EAD).

However, a friend mentioned that some individuals encounter difficulties re-entering the United States after traveling abroad during their OPT period. Could anyone please clarify the risks and any necessary precautions I should take to ensure a smooth re-entry into the US after my trip to India?

It’s possible, but usually not a major concern if you have everything in order. Since you’ll have your approved OPT and EAD, you should be fine.
