各路留学小伙伴们注意了!
就在刚刚,紧随着川普今日开放秋季学校的推文,美国海关和移民局总署(ICE)更新了秋季开学课程的新规定:留学生如果2020年秋季以纯网课形式入学,或将面临被驱逐出境的境遇!
新规明确表示:持有F1或M1的学生如果在秋季选择纯线上授课将不被允许待在美国境内。同时,ICE也不会发放签证给此类学生,并拒绝其入境。
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.
如果入读学校提供线下课程,持有F-1签证的国际学生最多只能选择一门网上课程(3个学分)。这与不少学校常规的选课规定几乎相同。
Nonimmigrant F-1 students attending schools operating under normal in-person classes are bound by existing federal regulations. Eligible F students may take a maximum of one class or three credit hours online.
如果学生所在学校选择“线下+线上”混合课程模式,学生则可以选择超过一门网课。
Nonimmigrant F-1 students attending schools adopting a hybrid model—that is, a mixture of online and in person classes—will be allowed to take more than one class or three credit hours online. These schools must certify to SEVP, through the Form I-20, “Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status,” certifying that the program is not entirely online, that the student is not taking an entirely online course load this semester, and that the student is taking the minimum number of online classes required to make normal progress in their degree program. The above exemptions do not apply to F-1 students in English language training programs or M-1 students pursing vocational degrees, who are not permitted to enroll in any online courses.
总的来说,这将取决于学校的具体安排而迄今为止,很多学校的秋季授课计划尚不明朗。
比如哈佛计划学生分批次返学。40%的学生包括大一本科生先返回校园,其他再作安排。这样的计划比较模棱两可有可能其他学生可以后续返学参与面对面课程;如果疫情恶化,那么网络授课的可能性将会很高。
一旦学校确定授课方式,必须在开始更改秋季学校授课模式的十天之内在SEVIS系统更新上报授课方式计划
对于留学生来说,最要注意的是确保在美的合法性。严峻的局势是暂时的,大家切勿焦急。无论身处何方,保持平静,积极进取才是真理。
