As the title suggests, I'm travelling from India to United States via Oman. My itinerary is as stated below:

AMD to BOM (IndiGo)

BOM to MCT (IndiGo)

(self transfer of luggage and layover of about 6 hrs in MCT)

MCT to AUH (Etihad)

AUH to ORD (Etihad)

I have a F-1 visa (student visa for United States)

Do I need to have a visa of Oman too? I tried contacting the airlines, but they weren't able to answer the question specifically and my dad thinks that a visa is necessary as I have to collect the luggage in arrival, leave the airport, and go to departures. I'm not sure if its needed or not, any help would be appreciated.

Yes. You basically have two trips - India to Oman, and Oman to USA. Note that in case your India-Oman flights are delayed/canceled, then you are on your own for the Oman-USA trip. You need to consider if you are willing to assume this risk.
