Employment Authorization for Haitian
F–1 Nonimmigrant Students
Experiencing Severe Economic
Hardship as a Direct Result of the
January 12, 2010 Earthquake in Haiti
U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement; DHS.
ACTION: Notice of suspension of
applicability of certain requirements.
AGENCY:
This notice informs the public
of the suspension of certain regulatory
requirements for F–1 nonimmigrant
students whose country of citizenship is
Haiti and who are experiencing severe
economic hardship as a direct result of
the January 12, 2010 earthquake in
Haiti. The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) is taking action to
provide relief to these F–1 students so
they may obtain employment
authorization, work an increased
number of hours while school is in
session, and reduce their course load,
while continuing to maintain their F–1
student status. F–1 students who are
granted employment authorization by
means of this notice will be deemed to
be engaged in a ‘‘full course of study’’ for
the duration of their employment
authorization, provided that they satisfy
the minimum course load requirement
described in this notice.
DATES: This notice is effective
September 15, 2010 and will remain in
effect until July 22, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
What action is DHS taking under this
notice?
The Secretary of Homeland Security
is exercising her authority under 8 CFR
214.2(f)(9) to temporarily suspend the
applicability of certain requirements
governing on-campus and off-campus
employment. F–1 students granted
employment authorization by means of
this notice will be deemed to be engaged
in a ‘‘full course of study’’ for the
duration of their employment
authorization if they satisfy the
minimum course load described in this
notice. See 8 CFR 214.2(f)(6)(i)(F).
Who is covered by this notice?
This notice applies exclusively to F–
1 students whose country of citizenship
is Haiti and who were lawfully present
in the United States in F–1
nonimmigrant status on January 12,
2010 under section 101(a)(15)(F)(i) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act
(INA), 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(F)(i) and (1)
are enrolled in an institution that is
Student and Exchange Visitor Program
(SEVP)-certified for enrollment of F–1
students; (2) are currently maintaining
F–1 status; and (3) are experiencing
severe economic hardship as a direct
result of the January 12, 2010
earthquake in Haiti.
This notice applies both to
undergraduate and graduate students, as
well as elementary school, middle
school, and high school students. The
notice, however, applies differently to
elementary school, middle school, and
high school students, as discussed in
Question, ‘‘Does this notice apply to
elementary school, middle school, and
high school students in F–1 status?’’
F–1 students covered by this notice
who transfer to other academic
institutions that are SEVP-certified for
enrollment of F–1 students remain
eligible for the relief provided by means
of this notice.
Why is DHS taking this action?
DHS is taking action to provide relief
to F–1 students whose country of
citizenship is Haiti and who are
experiencing severe economic hardship
as a direct result of the January 12, 2010
earthquake in Haiti. These students may
obtain employment authorization, work
an increased number of hours while
school is in session, and reduce their
course load, while continuing to
maintain their F–1 student status.
Haiti has limited resources to cope
with a natural disaster like this

earthquake, which was the strongest one
to strike the island nation in 200 years.
The country’s critical infrastructure was
severely damaged, and many
government offices, schools, businesses,
and hospitals were completely
destroyed. Millions of Haitians have
been displaced from their homes and
must depend on international aid
organizations to receive basic
necessities such as food and water.
Approximately 1,127 F–1 students
whose country of citizenship is Haiti are
enrolled in schools in the United States.
Given the extent of the destruction and
humanitarian challenges in Haiti,
affected F–1 students whose primary
means of financial support comes from
family members in Haiti may now need
to be exempted from the normal student
employment requirements to be able to
continue their studies in the United
States. Without employment
authorization, these students may lack
the means to meet basic living expenses.
What is the minimum course load
requirement set forth in this notice?
Undergraduate students who are
granted on-campus or off-campus
employment authorization under this
notice must remain registered for a
minimum of six semester/quarter hours
of instruction per academic term.
Graduate-level F–1 students who are
granted on-campus or off-campus
employment authorization under this
notice must remain registered for a
minimum of three semester/quarter
hours of instruction per academic term.
See 8 CFR 214.2(f)(5)(v). In addition, F–
1 students (both undergraduate and
graduate) granted on-campus or offcampus employment authorization
under this notice may count up to the
equivalent of one class or three credits
per session, term, semester, trimester, or
quarter of online or distance education
toward satisfying this minimum course
load requirement, unless the F–1
student’s course of study is in a
language study program. See 8 CFR
214.2(f)(6)(i)(G). Elementary school,
middle school, and high school students
must maintain ‘‘class attendance for not
less than the minimum number of hours
a week prescribed by the school for
normal progress toward graduation,’’ as
required under 8 CFR 214.2(f)(6)(i)(E).
May Haitian F–1 students who already
have on-campus or off-campus
employment authorization benefit from
the suspension of regulatory
requirements under this notice?
Yes. Haitian F–1 students who
already have on-campus or off-campus
employment authorization may benefit
under this notice, which suspends
