Urgent help on F1 visa

[Sweety2000]

Hello,

I am currently registered in a school for fall semester 2009 however, due to a family emergency I need to go to india for 4-6 months. I would really appreciate if someone could guide me what options I have to return back to the USA after the period. Will I be denied entry at the port of entry for extended period of stay in india on F1 visa. Kindly advice on what options I have so that I can easily enter US without any problem.


Your help will be really appreciated. Kindly reply asap as I need to leave to india

Thanks
Sweety

You need to discuss your options with the DSO in your Internation STudents office. They are the ones that can guide you appropriately based on your situation and scenario.

You can leave for 5 months

Hi

You can leave to India but should make sure that you return back by the end of last day of 5th month vocation. How ever I advise you to take 4 1/2 months vacation so that you would not land into any kind of trouble. You should talk to your International office so that they would prepare you with the information like giving a new I-20 etc...My friend did this and so I know about it....
