Q: Is it 100% guaranteed in those two countries?

It's not guaranteed in any Country.

Q: I have come to know of cases where students went back to nepal with valid I20 but expired visa and got rejected while appyling to return back here again in USA

Actually nepali people ONLY hear so many stories from friends. The irony is nobody actually have seen those people EXCEPT for few.


Do you know the reason behind the rejection?  were they mainting valid immigration status while they were in United States.
Did they have any criminal records, DUI or any Police record? What about their GPA ? Did they have good academic status ?


If you do not have problem with the question i mentioned above, you should have no problem getting a student visa again !


Q: I was told that I should go to Canada or Mexico to apply for the visa before I travel back home.


Don't tell me you were told this by your international student advisor. This probably was told by another friend of your, correct ? 
Ask your international student advisor and he/she will say going to your HOME country is recommended for restamping F1 Visa.

Going to Canada or Mexico may give you more problem if you were rejected there. You will not be allowed to re-enter US even if you're rejected in Mexico or Canada. You'll have to go to Nepal from there if rejected.

If you're planning to go to Nepal anyway, the best would be go to Nepal, take all the documents (i hope you've good academic status and all that). You'll enjoy family time in nepal and save your travel to mexio/canada.

Sarpa pani marne, latthi pani nabhachine !
