No worries bro..unless u finish your degree program no body at entry can stop u. and ni case of ur school work, as long as they pay in check and cuts some tax from school u don need to panic on that. anyone working at school should be informed to ins from school and there is no issuance of i-20 for on campus job

and make sure u get travel documents from school and updated signature from DSO at the back of ur i-20.

 Cul_boy, I had a same situation. My  I 20 was for 3 years in masters program. Due to my research problems I could not finished my degee in 3 years and extended my I 20 for one semester. During this time I had to go Nepal for some important works and went this december with new extended I 20. I spent around one months in Nepal. My POE was Chicago. Immirgation officer did not ask any unusual questions in POE. Just some academic questions. It was just 2 minutes. Do not worry if you have valid I 20 with signature from international affairs you are in safe place. I even did not have letter from advisor, international officer and departmental head. I think you should not be worry about it. Good luck Last edited: 22-Feb-11 07:28 PM Last edited: 22-Feb-11 07:31 PM

 Thanks guys for your suggestions....  my concern is also that I came to Nepal at middle of the semester.. though I won't miss any classes as i have taken only research and thesis credits.. will it be a concern? and also, i don't have letters from advisor, department head and international advisor, just took their permission. I have updated signature in my I 20.
