What’s New and What Remains the Same?

  • New Clarifications: Addressing the coexistence of foreign residence and permanent residency intentions, and work opportunities with startups.
  • Continuity: Basic requirements for F and M visas, school transfer procedures, and general employment rules.

What does USCIS’ New Guidance Change for International Students?

The guidance addresses key areas such as employment authorization, change of status, extension of stay, and reinstatement of status for F and M students and their dependents in the United States.

MAINTAINING FOREIGN RESIDENCE

The updated guidance emphasizes that F and M students must maintain a foreign residence and not intend to permanently abandon their home country.

Despite this, the policy now allows students to apply for permanent residency through green cards in the U.S. It’s crucial for students to demonstrate their intention to return to their home country after their temporary stay in the U.S., even as they explore long-term options.

STEM OPT AND STARTUPS

For F-1 students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields, the policy update is particularly noteworthy. It offers an extension of Optional Practical Training (OPT) for those seeking employment opportunities with startup companies.

The startups must comply with specific requirements: they need to adhere to the outlined training plans, be in good standing with E-Verify, and provide compensation that is on par with similarly situated U.S. workers. This creates new employment opportunities but also requires students and their employers to be vigilant about meeting these conditions.

CLARITY ON ELIGIBILITY AND RULES

USCIS has provided detailed explanations regarding the maintenance of student status. This includes comprehensive guidance on transferring schools, exploring different employment options while on a student visa, and the procedures for applying for various benefits.

The clearer guidelines help students understand their responsibilities and rights under their visa status. However, it also means that students need to be more proactive in ensuring their activities and employment align with these updated rules to maintain their legal status in the U.S.

IMPLICATIONS FOR FUTURE PLANS

While the policy update offers greater flexibility and opens up new avenues, it’s essential for students to plan their future in the U.S. with these regulations in mind.

Whether it’s considering long-term residency or seeking employment post-graduation, students should factor in these updated guidelines in their decision-making process.

IMPORTANT: With these changes, the onus is on the students to stay informed and compliant with the updated policies. This involves regularly checking for any new updates or changes in immigration policies that might affect their status.
