Situation for F-1 and J-1 students to travel or travel back to the United States
What is the situation for F-1 and J-1 students to travel or travel back to the United States?
F-1 students who already have their visa stamped on the passport can travel back in July. Those who do not have a visa stamping will have to wait for either the consulates in India to open (currently processing only emergency visas, which could include imminent academic session), or try obtaining a student visa in a country other than India. J-1 students will need to apply for National Interest Exemption, which should be given, but only when the consulates open for business.

Mr. Khanna is the best attorney I have so far met, and believe me as a physician I have met tons of them. Mr. Khanna knows his area of expertise (immigration) so well that at the end of the 15 minutes discussion I had with him, I knew he was my best option. Of utmost importance is the follow-up, which the staff of Mr. Khanna have mastered so well. As long as Mr Khanna is in business, he will henceforth take care of all my issues relating to immigration. Without permnission from Mr. Khanna, I have already started recommending him to my colleagues. Hamisu Salihu, MD, PhD
