If I’m an F1 student who came to the US about 9 months ago, what are my rights to go home for a visit?
I still have a valid visa for 4 years and I am currently going to school. I recently applied for TPS and had biometrics about 6 years ago. I plan to visit my country Nepal on this summer. Can I go on F1? Is there any advanced parole required?

If you have a multiple entry F-1 visa and you are still enrolled in a program for which you have the F-1 status then you are able to travel internationally and return to the US to continue your studies. Just be sure to carry with you proof of your school attendance and your current I-20 form.
