There may be potential changes that will impact immigration. As an international student, it is important that you:
- Stay informed by relying on credible information sources; these include the university’s International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS), government websites likeUSCIS.gov, and reputable legal professionals rather than social media or outdated advice.
- Maintain your legal student immigration status; comply with all regulations.
- Prepare for the possibility of longer visa processing and wait times.
- Request necessary documents such as I-20s or DS-2019s early.
- Avoid unauthorized work.
- Document and maintain a record of your academic achievements.
- Promptly report any address changes or academic program changes, including obtaining approvals for reduced course loads if needed.
- Plan ahead for long-term immigration options such as H-1B visas if you are interested in post-graduation employment.
- Seek legal counsel for complex cases.
