Congress is calling for the decision to be reversed, US Congresswoman Debbie Dingell said on Thursday (local time) reacting to the new rule on F1 visa.
"Credits don't always transfer, leases are already signed, & tuition is already paid. ICE requiring international students taking online classes to leave the country or transfer to in-person classes is deeply concerning. Congress is calling for the decision to be reversed," Dingell said in a tweet, referring to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) department..
