Title: Authorizing Suspension of Employment Authorization Requirements on the Basis of Severe Economic Hardship for F-1 Students and Emergent Circumstances | |
Abstract: This rule amended DHS regulations applying to on-campus employment, off-campus employment authorization, and duration of status for nonimmigrant F-1 students. The rule permits the Secretary to suspend some or all of the requirements for on-campus or off-campus employment where emergent circumstances exist as provided through notice in the Federal Register. The rule also amends the regulations to provide that an F-1 student who carries less than a full course of study as a result of this special employment authorization will be deemed to be maintaining status for the duration of the authorization, as long as the student carries a minimum course load of 6 credit hours if the student is an undergraduate, or 3 credit hours if the student is in graduate school. | |
