Of course I am planing to come back ! Do you think that 100% of the international students are planing for complete immigration to the US? It is very normal and natural that we, international students, have future plans that do not necessarily include flourishing the States' economy... If you were not American, if you were from sub-Saharan Africa for instance, won't you search for getting the best education for yourself, and maybe even for your country? and be sure that no offer will be made to an international student unless the universities and the US funding agencies are 100% sure that they will gain more financial benefits from giving this student their money.. They don't pay us as a kind of charity! They pay us because they need us, that's simply it ! So, it is really the case that we, international students, are doing a favor for the US economy because our skills and knowledge are seriously needed for the advancement of research..
Anyway, the problem is that my country now called me for military service and as a consequence they legally prohibited me from travelling. They will not allow me in the airport to travel anywhere.
