I am currently an F1 student on my STEM extension, valid from January 2024 to January 2026, and am presently employed. Unfortunately, due to family problems in India, I need to return to India for seven months. I plan to return to the USA afterward, and my F1 visa is valid until July 14, 2026. I am reaching out to seek your guidance on how to navigate this situation. I am concerned about any potential complications that may arise from this extended absence and am uncertain about my chances of re-entering the USA. Could you please advise me on the feasibility of returning and any possible steps I can take to facilitate my return?
