Foreign students running degrees in the United States may have to leave the country or get deported if universities transition to an online-only form of teaching.

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said this in a press statement on Monday while addressing forthcoming policies to be adopted for the fall semester to curb COVID-19 spread.

It said students under certain visas may not take a full online course load and remain in the US, noting that visas won’t be issued to students enrolled in fully virtual programmes for the fall semester starting in August.

Although those combining online and in-person lectures were exempted, the ICE suggested those enrolled online consider other measures like transferring to schools with in-person instruction.

“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 ICE explained.

“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 the U.S.

“Customs and Border Protection permit these students to enter the United States.

“Active students currently 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.”

As the novel virus continues to spread globally, US varsities and many others across the globe had begun making arrangements to transition to online courses in place of in-person lecture delivery.

At Harvard, it is expected that all course instructions will soon go online, including for students living on campus and this opens the door to having international students leave the US.

Heee

Hmmm

Holy Jesus

Too bad but our leaders are to blame for all the mess in the educational system. If education was good in Nigeria people won't go out as they do to get degrees.

Ouch!

After the money spent securing the visa, flying over there, and paying numerous fees, one now has to come back because their school switched to online learning.

Where are those animals that hail Trump? Will they be deported too? You better pray that Biden wins.

Donald Trump is a smart businessman and won't stop at anything just to make sure the United State is not shortchanged in any of their dealing. Same reason why the silent majority repose their trust in him and are going to reelect him come November. Discard what the CNN, Liberals and Establishments are saying. They predicted worse than this 4 years ago.

Hushpuppi and co,...

U see why trump must be voted out??

H

US and deportation are 5&6

Hush

This is very excellent for the WHITE people of United States of America, not ( bleaching cream,albinos, fake phonetics s).
All those Dumb Trump ers that are forcefully attaching their loyalty to Dump Trump una eyes don clear ?. The ICE unit will deport every deportable black man/woman before November general election so as to increase the Orange man chances of winning the election.
For the racist white Americans, you don't have to be a Muslim or Christian before they hate you, once your skin colour is black, you are in soup. Sai Trumpet 4 + 4.

Oga, even Buhari and Osinbajo children did not school here. They schooled in the best schools abroad (◔‿◔)

Hushpuppi, wood berry & cohorts..... the havoc you have wrecked is yielding results. I don’t know if the wound can ever heal. & The only way out in this mess is for capital punishment to be imposed on political looters. From there, Nigeria will develop. It is well.

Covid-19 is changing the world for good.
