ICE announced through the broadcast message that it will extend the guidance originally issued in March 2020 for F and M international students for the 2022-23 academic year. This guidance enables schools and students to engage in distance learning in excess of regulatory limits due to the continuing public health concerns created by COVID-19. There are no changes to the original guidance, which will remain in effect during the 2021-22 academic year.
Please note the March 2020 guidance applies to nonimmigrant students who were actively enrolled at a U.S. school on March 9, 2020, and are otherwise complying with the terms of their nonimmigrant status, whether from inside the United States or abroad.
