Hello, ASA. Another day, another federal register request. This one closes tonight at 11:59 PM ET. This time it is on supporting our international students and postdocs. This is the summary.
"Unlike most nonimmigrant classifications, which are admitted for a fixed time period, aliens in the F (academic student), J (exchange visitor), and most I (representatives of foreign information media) classifications, with limited exceptions, are currently admitted into the United States for the period of time that they are complying with the terms and conditions of their nonimmigrant classification ("duration of status"). The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to amend its regulations by changing the admission period in the F, J, and I classifications from duration of status to an admission for a fixed time period."
For those of you who saw my LinkedIn and BlueSky posts, you know my father's journey to the US was through University of Florida, Princeton University, and Cornell University. If you want collaboration to exist, please comment in the federal register.
Fellow feds, do so off duty and not on your GFE. And while you're at it, get your eOPF documents ready before tomorrow night.
Warmly,
