Me and my wife just had a newborn, I’m planning a short trip back to India this year or early next year to see family, but according to the news I might face issues coming back?!
What exactly do I need to watch out for?
Anyone here traveled recently while working? Should I be nervous? 
Congratulations on the baby! Back to the question, I guess it depends on what visa status you are on. If you are on OPT, it might not be the best time to travel, but regular F1 status should be fine. If you are using day 1 CPT, as I see many people are in this forum, don’t travel while the semester is on. Only travel during breaks and get permissions from the school. If you are on h1b, should also be fine for the most part. My friend just traveled back from Inida and she is on F1. She went back to renew her visa stamp. it took longer than expected, which caused some problem with employer (she is on day 1 cpt), but she got back two weeks ago fine.
