If u r maintaining f1 status and ur i20 is valid, i dont think expiration of ur visa is an issue. U only have to go out while h1 stamping

To be more clear, as long as u r maintaining f1 status and valid i20, u are fine even if ur visa is expired. U r a legal resident. On the same note, if u do not maintain f1 status or i20, u will procure illegal presence even if u have a valid f1 visa. So f1 status and valid i20 takes precedence over f1 visa.

ummm..if this guy did his bachelors and currently enrolled masters with f1 visa(which i assumed is already expired), I am prety sure he knows about it. I guess he just wanted to renew his visa to travel back home. I might be wrong, idk.

Then u can stamp visa in nepal when u come back. U dont need US visa to go to Nepal :)

Thanks for all your inputs. Like nayapidi said I am aware of f1 status and i20. Just wondering if anybody took that route to Mexico to get visa while in F1.
