ICE has declared that foreign students must leave the country if they take courses online... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 07/07/2020 03:55:02 AM

Many universities, possessing basic understanding of viral transmission, have shifted all or most of their classes entirely online for the Fall, since there is no evidence of the coronavirus abating.

For the Spring semester ICE had made an exemption to its typical rule that students on non-immigrant visas cannot take <I>all</I> their classes online. This exemption has now been reversed:


Nonimmigrant F-1 and M-1 students attending schools operating entirely online may not take a full online course load and remain in the United States. The U.S. Department of State will not issue visas to students enrolled in schools and/or programs that are fully online for the fall semester nor will U.S. Customs and Border Protection permit these students to enter the United States. Active students currently in the United States enrolled in such programs must depart the country or take other measures, such as transferring to a school with in-person instruction to remain in lawful status. If not, they may face immigration consequences including, but not limited to, the initiation of removal proceedings.

The stupidity of this government knows no bounds.
