Hello Friends,

In most F-1 cases, students are referred to ask International Advisor but i don't have that option because my international advisor is the last person to ask for help. So, i am asking someone who might have been in same situation. I am graduating this fall 2011. My graduation ceremony is on Jan 27, 2012. My semester ends on Dec 22, 2011 and i have almost one month gap to attend the commencement. Now,  during this period, can i travel to Nepal and plan to come back to US to attend the commencement ceremony on Jan 27? Please help me out with your advise.

Depends on what you have lined up after graduation.
If you are on OPT and have a job lined up that sponsors, then probably not a bad idea. My advisor mentioned that one time she had a student go back home in an OPT and came back. The student got stuck in the airport because she did not have a letter.
I suggest you not to go home if you plan to stay here in the future.
