Attention: There is an IMPORTANT New Rule pertaining to International Students (F1 and M1 visa holders) that was released by ICE this week:

This New Rule changes the current ICE policy of allowing F1 students to take all classes online, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the Fall semester, students can only remain in the U.S. in F1 status if (1) they attend a school with hybrid (online and in person) instruction and attend some classes in person or hybrid, and the minimum allowed classes online, or (2) if they attend all classes in person, with the usual exception that they may take a maximum of one online course or three credit hours online.

Schools that will offer classes online-only in the Fall semester will not be able to keep F1 students in status (including both new and returning/ongoing F1s).

For more information, and to get advice about your specific situation, please contact REG Legal Solutions to schedule a consultation.

On February 24, 2020, USCIS began to implement the new "Public Charge" rule and is now applying it to certain new applications for green cards in the U.S., especially in family sponsorship cases. A similar rule applies to people applying for an immigrant visa overseas. The new rule makes it more difficult to get a green card for people who have received, or are likely to receive public benefits in the future. The rule also requires certain new green card applicants to include a new Form I-944 with their Adjustment of Status application. Click below to read the USCIS new Public Charge Fact Sheet:
