The latest regulations for studying in the United States, how should international students solve their current difficulties?

Let’s first take a look at what the so-called new regulations for studying abroad are:

On July 6, U.S. time, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency promulgated new regulations: Starting from this year Starting in the fall, international students holding F-1 or M-1 visas who all choose online courses will not be issued a visa and will not be allowed to enter the country. Such students currently in the United States will either choose schools offering offline courses or be deported. That said, starting next semester, international students holding an F-1 or M-1 visa must take at least one in-person course.

This may sound a bit convoluted, but let’s cut through the fog and get to the point.

International students who do not attend classes online will be deported. However, almost all university courses have been transferred to online classes, with no face-to-face classes at all. Therefore, if this measure is implemented, it will be impossible for the many international students in the United States to transfer to another university offering fall courses. There is no other way, the visa is useless, which means that the repatriation of the international students has been decided.

What should international students do?

For students who have not yet gone but plan to enroll this fall. Because many schools have already prepared online courses. Not being able to get an F-1 visa now does not affect your enrollment.

Students who are already in the United States should pay attention to the course options provided by the school and choose a hybrid online and offline course in accordance with ICE regulations.

Students who have returned to their country or left the United States should still check with the school office to confirm whether they can continue studying online in their home country.

Of course there is another way: apply for a gap year. You can apply for a gap year when studying in universities in the United States, and you can take a break of up to two semesters at a time. Because this procedure can be done remotely, all you need to do is discuss it with the school.

What impact will this provision have?

If this regulation is really implemented, it will have a huge impact on American colleges and universities.

According to the US "Washington Post" report, this regulation was immediately opposed by almost all college teachers and students. The most classic thing they said is: "This measure puts American higher education in danger." However, Trump has repeatedly emphasized that this measure is to help the country return to normal. At the White House meeting on July 7. He said pressure would be put on governors and principals to reopen campuses. He said schools must be open in the fall.

Obviously we can see that. Although this kind of move is very dangerous, given that many students will be deported, there is a risk. As Trump said, many colleges and universities will be forced to reopen their schools.

Then the problem comes, the virus has not been solved yet. The number of infections in the United States is the highest in the world. They advocate freedom, and many young people choose to ignore everything for freedom. Reopening campuses is undoubtedly a significantly risky move. This can be said to be Trump’s little mentality that leans toward coercion. Use the possible repatriation of students to force schools to reopen. This kind of behavior can be said to be without shame. Because it is obvious that reopening campuses will pose major hidden dangers to the prevention of the epidemic. So what prevention and control measures should universities take to prevent this from happening? Obviously, this is almost impossible to do.

What is the purpose of the new study abroad regulations at this time?

It is necessary for us to look at the essence through the phenomenon. Let us break away from this matter and take a look at Trump’s confusing behavior in the past six months. Apparently there are a lot of things he does that have always eluded us, and even more so recently. From the Twitter king, the flip-flop king and the self-mockery incident some time ago, everyone is shocked. But looking at it from one aspect. We can fully explain it. He tried his best to win re-election! All he is doing now is trying to pave the way for re-election. After all, he actually did something like forcing schools to reopen. How much is the safety of public lives and property worth in his eyes? I can't imagine.

It can be summed up that Trump is essentially just a businessman through and through.

This has been the case since he took office. He unexpectedly took office as a wealthy businessman, just to maximize the benefits this position can bring! And now he is trying to maintain his interests in every way he can think of. This kind of behavior may make all of us disagree, but in the eyes of a money-only businessman, all this is perfectly normal in his eyes. The election is around the corner, and his performance has just begun.
