International students may still have opportunity to study this fall in the US
(VOVWORLD) - The US Department of State on Tuesday made an announcement about foreign students studying in the US, affirming that the US has long been the destination of choice for international students and they are pleased that many international students who had planned to study this fall in the US may still have the opportunity to do so.

The Department of Homeland Security has announced its plan for temporary modifications to F-1 and M-1 non-immigrant visa requirements for the fall 2020 semester. This will allow a mixture of both in-person and some online coursework to meet the requirements for non-immigrant student status.
This temporary accommodation provides greater flexibility for non-immigrant students to continue their education in the US, while also allowing for proper social distancing on campuses across America. International students will still have to obtain the appropriate visa and may still be subject to other visa processing or travel restrictions due to COVID-19.
