I have visa till Jan'2011. I am planning to visit India in this Dec for 20 days. I just wanted to know that do i need stamp to re-enter in USA or is there any problem while entering to USA at airport?

Please give me best guidelines.

Yes, you will need a new visa stamp in your passport to reflect your current F-1 status in order to reenter the country and should be able to obtain it from a U.S embassy or consulate in India.(Now, however, is the time to arrange for the required visa stamping interview with the embassy or consulate and to ensure that you will have the required documentation with you for the interview.)
