Thank You np2plus for your candid suggestions. Another question, I am planning to visit to Nepal before I graduate for family emergency. However, I am not decided because of my wife's status. My visa has expired but have a valid I-20, so need to apply visa to come back. I was checking the visa application firms where it states that I have to give information about my wife and child since they have been living here. My child is US citizen. My wife is in F-1 but she has not been taking full time courses. How likely will be a chance that I will be rejected for visa to come back to US because of my wife's case of violation of her visa because of the reasons I mentioned in my previous postings. Any thoughts or similar experience? Should I visit Nepal or wait until I get my H1B?
