In a recent development, ICE has announced the reinstatement of international students’ records that were improperly revoked in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). This move comes after a series of litigations highlighted the widespread disruption and fear caused by the abrupt terminations of these students’ records. The terminations were often based on flawed data from the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), disproportionately affecting students from countries like India and China. ICE has acknowledged the need for a more balanced approach and is currently working on developing a new policy to prevent such overreach in the future, aiming to minimize the hardship faced by international students. This decision brings relief to many affected students and restores a sense of security and stability to the international student community in the United States. Stay tuned for further updates on this evolving situation.
