Q: I am a student studying under an F-1 visa and want to visit my my home country. Will I be allowed back into the US?

What circumstances would cause me to be not allowed back into the US after traveling back to my home country, and has COVID-19 made it more difficult to return if I have been vaccinated.

A: It depends what country you are from. You should look at the Dept of State's website for current COVID related restrictions. See: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/ea/covid-19-information.html

But you should also consult with an immigration attorney if you have had any encounters with the law (i.e. criminal history) while in the US or have failed to properly maintain your F-1 visa status. Best wishes!
