Travel to India with F1-OPT and visa expiration within 6 months

[[email protected]]

Hi,

Currently I am in F1-OPT. My F1 visa expires in June 2016. I have plans to visit India in December and will be back by mid January next year. Will there be any difficulty while entering USA when I return back in January 2016? Is there any rule which says that you can not travel out of US within 6 months of visa expiration?

Any suggestion and replies would be helpful.

Thank you
Ashwani

Hello, I'm at exact same situation and want to know if everything was OK for you. Did CBP make an issue about your visa expiration date? I would appreciate if you can answer. I am traveling soon. Thanks !
