Foreign Students Report Being Barred From Entry

Madeline Joung

   International students continue to report difficulties trying to enter
   the United States, despite a win last week by universities to clear the
   way.

   "Heads up returning F-1 students," immigration lawyer Greg Siskind
   tweeted Wednesday. "I am hearing numerous instances of @CBP ports of
   entry, pre-flight inspection offices and @TravelGov consulates ignoring
   the Harvard/MIT settlement and denying visas/entry for returning F-1s
   at schools staying online."

     Heads up returning F-1 students. I am hearing numerous instances of
     [1]@CBP ports of entry, pre-flight inspection offices and
     [2]@TravelGov consulates ignoring the Harvard/MIT settlement and
     denying visas/entry for returning F-1s at schools staying online.

   Last week, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of
   Technology sued the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and
   Customs Enforcement, citing a rule that said international students had
   to be in person on campus for fall classes or risk losing their visa
   status.
