DHS Offers Temporary Employment Authorization to Certain Haitian F-1 Students Affected By the January 12, 2010 Earthquake 

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is suspending certain requirements for employment authorization for Haitian F-1 nonimmigrant students experiencing severe economic hardship as a direct result of the January 12, 2010 earthquake in Haiti.

Why is DHS taking this action?

ICE updated its list of Student and Exchange Visitor Program approved schools.

ICE publishes school and exchange visitor policy guidance for designated school officials on Optional Practical Training extension.

Please check the attachment for details.

This cable provides an update to guidance provided for Student and Exchange visitor visa applications.

See the attached document. 

The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) wants to ensure that designated school officials (DSOs) are aware of the visa revocation process, how to record such an action in a Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) record, and how to respond to law enforcement inquiries involving students whose visas have been revoked

The Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy’s Board of Directors has reaffirmed its prior decision to suspend NPTE testing for candidates educated in Egypt, India, Pakistan and the Philippines until the NPTE-YRLY can be developed. The Board has directed staff to develop the NPTE-YRLY examination as quickly as possible, but we project that it will still not be available until the latter part of 2011. We have not determined test locations yet.
