Conflicting advice from two US government agencies has bemused the study abroad sector after a policy manual update at the end of the summer appeared to tighten restrictions on F-1 visa holders studying abroad. The changes, which appeared to restrict international students in the US from studying abroad for longer than five months, are believed by some to be an “unintended consequence” of a policy update. This Friday, join Polly Nash, North America Reporter at The PIE News, Aaron Blumberg, Partner & Business Immigration Attorney at Fragomen, and Mike Magee, President of Minerva University, as they unpack the details behind the policy and how it could impact international students in the US. In this webinar, our experts will take a deep dive into the policy changes, asking whether they were intended, if they will be reversed, and what they could mean for F-1 visa holders studying abroad. https://hubs.li/Q02W9SCv0
