Traveler Re-Entry into the United States
Re-entering the United States after studying abroad is often overlooked but can pose real challenges—particularly for non-citizens. Recent immigration policy shifts have led to increased scrutiny at U.S. borders, where officers are encouraged to conduct more thorough inspections and may deny entry to individuals perceived as holding “hostile attitudes” toward the United States. These perceptions can be based on questioning or, in rare cases, reviews of electronic devices.
