Hi Redbus,
Currently, I’m residing in the United states on an H1B visa and stamped recently in March. I am fully vaccinated and have a CDC vaccination card. I’m planning to travel to India in August, In my case, when coming back to the United States ,do I still need to get approval for NIE before I travel to India ? What steps should I need to take ?
Thank you
If the presidential proclamation is still in place when you fly back to the US, you won’t be qualified for NIE unless you fall under on the criteria in the below link.

However, you may travel to a 3rd country (exempt from travel ban list), do a stayover for 14 day and then enter the US.
