They\u2019re unsettled,\u201d said Fanta Aw, the executive director and chief executive of NAFSA, a nonprofit association of international educators. \u201cSome of them are asking themselves, \u2018Should I remain here, knowing there is so much uncertainty, or is it best that I just go home?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Here is what we know about the legal protections afforded to student visa holders, their vulnerabilities and the power the federal government possesses to revoke their visas.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-343ad780\">What is a student visa?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">International students typically have what is known as an F-1 visa, and they must meet and maintain certain criteria that are set by the federal government and the host school.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Typically, students must be enrolled in an academic program at a college or university that has been approved by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. Those who are studying under an F-1 visa generally cannot work off campus during their first academic year and must show that they have enough money to afford living in the United States during the entire time that they are studying there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">F-1 visas typically are issued for the duration of a student\u2019s stay in the United States and can be extended if coursework or research take longer than planned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Student visas are mutually beneficial for international students and their host schools, providing the institutions with cultural enrichment and billions in tuition dollars. According to a study by NAFSA, the 1.1 million foreign students at U.S. colleges and universities <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nafsa.org\/about\/about-nafsa\/international-students-contribute-record-breaking-level-spending-and-378000-jobs\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">contributed $43.8 billion<\/a> to the nation\u2019s economy during the 2023-24 academic year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In return, international students receive a typical American college experience \u2014 one that has sometimes <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/oiss.yale.edu\/campus-community-life\/for-students\/legal-considerations\/know-your-rights\/participating-in-a-protest-know-your-rights-and-risks\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">involved the longstanding tradition<\/a> of students speaking out against opinions, policies or politics they oppose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">New York University has the most foreign students of any U.S. school, followed by Northeastern University in Boston, then by Columbia and Arizona State University, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/opendoorsdata.org\/fact_sheets\/fast-facts\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">according to the Open Doors report<\/a> compiled by the Institute of International Education, a nonprofit organization that focuses on international student exchange programs and conducts an annual census of such students in the United States. At N.Y.U., <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nyu.edu\/admissions\/undergraduate-admissions\/nyu-facts.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">22 percent<\/a> of students come from outside the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Students from India make up the largest percentage of international students, at 29 percent, according to the report, followed closely by students from China, at 25 percent, and then by students from South Korea, at 4 percent. Canadian students were next, at 3 percent.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-565dcf22\">What legal protections do student visas grant?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Visa-holding students have the same basic constitutional protections as U.S. citizens, including the First Amendment right to free speech, said Joshua Bardavid, an immigration lawyer in New York.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe Constitution applies to all persons,\u201d Mr. Bardavid said. \u201cEven people who are undocumented have basic and constitutional due process rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But those rights can be superseded by the federal government in some circumstances, including when officials screen foreigners at the border. The speech of people on student visas is still protected, but it doesn\u2019t always protect their immigration status.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">International students are especially vulnerable to deportation because of the temporary nature of their legal status. Joseph Lento, a lawyer who regularly advises foreign students, said that a student\u2019s visa status could be abruptly suspended or revoked if immigration officials determined they were not in compliance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Secretary of State Marco Rubio has ordered diplomats overseas to scour the social media content of student visa applicants to identify those who have criticized the United States and Israel and potentially bar them from entering the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last month, he told reporters that the State Department, under his direction, had revoked the visas of possibly more than 300 people \u2014 students, visitors and others \u2014 and was continuing to revoke visas daily.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Friday, Ted Mitchell, the president of the American Council on Education, a membership association that includes many colleges and universities, wrote a letter to Secretary Rubio urging him to better explain the government\u2019s recent actions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The government has authority to revoke the legal status of people who it believes are affiliated with terrorism. That <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/archive\/ag\/annualreports\/ar95\/foreward.htm\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">power was expanded<\/a> in the 1990s at the height of the nation\u2019s tough-on-crime policies and then broadened once again after the Sept. 11 attacks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Even foreign-born students who are lawful permanent residents or who are <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uscis.gov\/policy-manual\/volume-12-part-l-chapter-2\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">naturalized citizens<\/a> risk losing their right to live in the United States if, for example, immigration officials determine that they are affiliated with a terrorist organization. Federal immigration officials have recently made such accusations against students without providing proof.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-1d7690bc\">Why are student visas revoked?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Typically, international students lose their legal status when they break the rules of their visa programs, such as by working in the United States when they are not allowed to, or by having their grades slip to the point that they are no longer in good academic standing. At N.Y.U., students who maintain a grade-point average above <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/gallatin.nyu.edu\/academics\/policies\/policies1\/academic-standing--undergraduate.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">2.0<\/a> are regarded as being in good standing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Foreign students can also lose their visas if they are considered a public danger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI\u2019ve seen a student visa revoked because a student had a massive number of speeding tickets,\u201d said Sarah Spreitzer, who oversees matters related to international students at the American Council on Education.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Historically, it has been rare for students to be deported because of acts of political expression. At college campuses across the country, administrators and faculty members have expressed concern about students\u2019 ability to share their opinions without risking their legal status.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe have students who are here to study journalism in the United States precisely because of the reputation of freedom of the press here, and now they\u2019re extremely worried about whether they can even do their work without having their visas revoked and having all kinds of difficulties about their immigration status,\u201d said Jelani Cobb, the dean of the Columbia Journalism School.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-4d5ab82c\">Can students appeal a visa revocation?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Students seldom appeal the revocation of their visas in court because the odds of success are slim, Mr. Bardavid said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI can\u2019t even think of a case offhand where a student would successfully be able to have challenged their denial of a student visa in federal court,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s just not going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Lento stressed that because visas were granted at the discretion of U.S. officials, lawful activity that drew negative attention could result in scrutiny from immigration officials or academic leaders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Many students, he said, do not realize that an arrest or even disciplinary action from their school can jeopardize their immigration status, regardless of whether they are found guilty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ranjani Srinivasan, a Fulbright recipient from India who was pursuing a doctoral degree in urban planning at Columbia University, fled to Canada after authorities revoked her student visa and showed&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":584,"featured_media":4063,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[5271,5275,5270,5272,5191,4,5273,5189,5274,5279,5278,5277,5276,5269],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What Is a Student Visa?
