Hello,
I am on my STEM OPT which is valid till May 2023 and want to travel to India before March 2022. Will there be any issues when I return to USA? What all documents or Authorization letters I need from Employer or University? Please guide.
Thank you
Valid passport with valid F1 visa stamp (required to enter back to the US)

You must talk to your DSO and employer before travelling so that they can help with any required documentation.
