Hey guys,

I am working in the compay and I want to go Nepal. I am in OPT now and waiting to H1b. If I am not selected to h1b, how safe to go nepal and come again to US applying student visa. Any idea, friends.

i think its pretty safe, just carry the offer letter, valid F1 visa(not expired),your EAD, I've some of my friends who has been to india on OPT. I dont think you need to appy for student visa again since ur F1 visa has not expired.

It is better to stay in Nepal. Miost want well trained guys to develop new Nepal. We will receive compulsory but free miletary training. I am going back..

I don't think you can travel outside US while in OPT. Well, the rules might have changed now.

I was wrong.

2.O. Can I reenter if I left while on OPT? 

If your OPT has been approved and you depart before you get a job, your OPT ends and you cannot reenter unless you have a written job offer.

If you have a job, you may travel and reenter to resume work at the same job or you have a written offer for another job.
