maintain their F–1 student status. The
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) will deem an F–1 student who

of the employment authorization, if the
student satisfies the minimum course
load requirement described in this
notice.
This notice is effective
November 9, 2015 and will remain in
effect until December 24, 2016.

The April 25th 7.8 magnitude

enormous damage in Nepal’s vulnerable
urban areas, as well as to its rural areas
that are difficult to access because of the
mountainous terrain and limited
numbers of undamaged roads. The
earthquake has negatively affected the
whole economy of Nepal.
Approximately 25 to 33 percent of
Nepal’s population of over 8 million
