If you are worried
about how the recent spate of laws for overseas education and visas in USA are
likely to affect your STUDY IN
USA plans, then take heart. The universities of USA have got your back.
More than 60 of the top
ranked US universities, including such gems as Harvard and MIT, have filed a
law suit challenging the stringent visa policy that was brought in by the Trump
administration for students who study in USA.
The new visa rule called the 'backdating' rule is expected to have a detrimental
effect on the higher education system of the country
What is the back-dating rule?
The back-dating rule
is a new visa policy which was announced by the present US administration. It
places new restrictions on students to prevent overstaying a visa.
To make things clearer,
earlier, students who were not authorized to stay in the country on account of
visa expiry would accrue their unlawful presence from the day the government
issued an official statement that the visa was out of status. Anyone who stayed
more than 6 months after being declared as un lawful would be forced to return
to their home country and would be barred from entering USA for a period of
three years.
However, according to
the new back dating rule, the DHS (Department of Homeland Security) can be
authorized to set retroactive start dates for determining unlawful presence which
would start immediately the day after the student's degree program is completed
or the day after the expiry of visa or the day after a person's visa expires.
Many of the top universities
in USA, including Cornell, Yale, Harvard, MIT, and Princeton have come
together to sign an amicus brief, contesting that the new rules were tough on
the students and would be detrimental in the long run for the US education
system.
