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 extend the suspension of
the applicability of certain requirements
governing on-campus and off-campus
employment 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. See 75 FR 56120, September 15,
2010. The original notice was effective
from September 15, 2010 until July 22,
2011, with a subsequent notice
providing for an 18-month extension
from July 22, 2011 until January 22,
2013. See 76 FR 28997, May 19, 2011.
Effective with this publication,
PO 00000
Frm 00055
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
suspension of the requirements is
extended for an additional 18 months,
through July 22, 2014.
F–1 nonimmigrant students granted
employment authorization through the
notice will continue to be deemed to be
engaged in a ‘‘full course of study’’ for
the duration of their employment
authorization, provided they satisfy the
minimum course load requirement
described in 75 FR 56120. See 8 CFR
214.2(f)(6)(i)(F).
Who is covered under this action?
This notice applies exclusively to F–
1 nonimmigrant 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 (see the discussion
published in 75 FR 56121 in the
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?
The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) took action to provide
temporary relief to F–1 nonimmigrant
students whose country of citizenship is
Haiti and experienced severe economic
hardship as a result of the January 12,
2010 earthquake. See 75 FR 56120. It
enabled these F–1 students to obtain
employment authorization, work an
increased number of hours while school
was in session, and reduce their course
load, while continuing to maintain their
F–1 student status.
Haiti continues to struggle, with many
people still displaced as a result of the
earthquake. As Haiti rebuilds, the
country continues to experience
significant difficulties in recovering. F–
1 nonimmigrant students whose country
of citizenship is Haiti may depend on
