    Times of India's Ishani Duttagupta on whether Donald Trump regrets
    taking his boot of the necks of Big .EDU presidents and deans: <URL:https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/students-on-opt-status-do-not-need-new-work-visa-if-they-do-not-leave-the-us/articleshow/94344621.cms>
    | In a recent interview to a news agency, US minister counsellor for
    | consular affairs in India, Don Heflin, said that Indian students who
    | are in the US on OPT and were travelling back to India, would need
    | to get a visa stamped on their passports before returning to the US.
    | This summer, Indian students on F1 OPT visas, who travel to India,
    | have been given the flexibility of dropbox appointments, which means
    | they don't have to appear for in-person visa interviews to get their
    | passports stamped. However, Indian students in the US, who are
    | approved for OPT and have work authorisation (EAD) and a valid
    | student visa status both with their university and United States
    | Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS), do not need to get a new
    | visa if they are not leaving the US.

    Will Trump's Save America PAC endorse Chad Wolf for DHS.GOV and Betsy
    DeVos for ED.GOV?
