New Delhi: Many international students pursuing studies in the United States hold the F-1 student visa, which allows them to study in the country and, under certain conditions, gain work experience.

Your SEVIS record stays active, and your I-20 form remains valid, meaning the authorities expect you to continue your classes. Even if you are physically outside the US, your work activities are monitored under the visa ...
