Are CBPs mostly denying entry to F1 continuing students even those who aren’t from the banned countries due to COVID? Have you been taken to secondary inspection or got your phone searched?

Hi,

I’m an F1 student in USA. I would like to see my family next month only because I’m in grad school and next month is the only long holiday I will get. If I don’t go next month, I won’t be able to see my family for the next two years. I’m trying to determine if I should travel because. I know I shouldn’t travel due to COVID in itself but as I mentioned, the only reason I really want to go is because I want to see them before I have to spend two years not seeing them.

I am from Bangladesh which isn’t a restricted country. I’ve been reading horror stories about the border and I’m wondering how much of it is true? If cbp is mostly denying people and/or searching students’ phones then I will probably have to cancel my plans.

I have asked my school for advice, called SEVP for advice, called CBP for advice and obviously none of them were helpful.

Edit: all my classes are NOT online. My i20 says it’s hybrid and I also have a letter from registrar which states that my classes aren’t fully online for the next semester.

At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
