Employment Authorization for
Burmese F–1 Nonimmigrant Students
Experiencing Severe Economic
Hardship as a Direct Result of the
Current Crisis in Burma (Myanmar)
U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE); Department of
Homeland Security (DHS).
AGENCY:
This notice announces that
the Secretary of Homeland Security
(Secretary) has suspended certain
regulatory requirements for F–1
nonimmigrant students whose country
of citizenship is Burma (regardless of
country of birth) and who are
experiencing severe economic hardship
as a direct result of the current crisis in
Burma. The Secretary is taking action to
provide relief to Burmese citizens who
are lawful F–1 nonimmigrant students
so the students may request
employment authorization, work an
increased number of hours while school
is in session, and reduce their course
load while continuing to maintain F–1
nonimmigrant student status. DHS will
deem an F–1 nonimmigrant student
who receives employment authorization
by means of this notice to be engaged in
a ‘‘full course of study’’ for the duration
of the employment authorization, if the
nonimmigrant student satisfies the
minimum course load requirement
described in this notice.
SUMMARY:
This F–1 Notice is effective May
25, 2021 and will remain in effect until
November 25, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
What action is DHS taking under this
notice?
The Secretary is exercising the
authority under 8 CFR 214.2(f)(9) to
temporarily suspend the applicability of
certain requirements governing oncampus and off-campus employment for
F–1 nonimmigrant students whose
country of citizenship is Burma
(regardless of country of birth), who are
present in the United States in lawful F–
1 nonimmigrant student status as of
May 25, 2021, and who are experiencing
severe economic hardship as a direct
result of the current crisis in Burma.
Effective with this publication,
suspension of the employment
limitations is available through
November 25, 2022, for those who are
in lawful F–1 nonimmigrant status as of
May 25, 2021. DHS will deem an F–1
nonimmigrant student granted
employment authorization by means of
this notice to be engaged in a ‘‘full
course of study,’’ for the duration of the
employment authorization, if the
student satisfies the minimum course
load set forth in this notice.1 See 8 CFR
214.2(f)(6)(i)(F).
Who is covered by this notice?
This notice applies exclusively to F–
1 nonimmigrant students who meet all
of the following conditions:
(1) Are citizens of Burma, regardless
of country of birth;
(2) Were lawfully present in the
United States in F–1 nonimmigrant
status on May 25, 2021, under section
101(a)(15)(F)(i) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C.
1101(a)(15)(F)(i);
(3) Are enrolled in an academic
institution that is Student and Exchange
Visitor Program (SEVP)-certified for
enrollment of F–1 nonimmigrant
students;
(4) Are currently maintaining F–1
nonimmigrant status; and
(5) Are experiencing severe economic
hardship as a direct result of the current
crisis in Burma.
1 Because the suspension of requirements applies
throughout an academic term during which the
suspension is in effect, DHS considers an F–1
nonimmigrant student who engages in a reduced
course load or employment (or both) after this
notice is issued to be engaging in a ‘‘full course of
study,’’ see 8 CFR 214.2(f)(6), and eligible for
employment authorization, through the end of any
academic term for which such student is
matriculated as of November 25, 2022, provided
they satisfy the minimum course load requirement
in this notice. DHS also considers students who
engage in online coursework pursuant to ICE
coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID–19) guidance for
nonimmigrant students to be in compliance with
regulations while such guidance remains in effect.

on COVID–19, available at https://www.ice.gov/

Sfmt 4703
This notice applies to F–1
nonimmigrant students engaged in
private school (kindergarten through
grade 12), public school (grades 9–12),
and undergraduate and graduate
education. An F–1 nonimmigrant
student covered by this notice who
transfers to another SEVP-certified
academic institution remains eligible for
the relief provided by means of this
notice.
Why is DHS taking this action?
As a result of the current crisis in
Burma, the Secretary designated Burma
for Temporary Protected Status (TPS)
for 18 months, effective May 25, 2021
through November 25, 2022, based on
extraordinary and temporary conditions
in Burma caused by a February 2021
military coup, which has led to
continuing violence, arbitrary
detentions, use of lethal violence against
peaceful protesters, and the worsening
of humanitarian conditions. DHS now is
taking action to provide relief to eligible
Burmese F–1 nonimmigrant students
who are experiencing severe economic
hardship as a direct result of the current
crisis in Burma. These nonimmigrant
students may request employment
authorization, work an increased
number of hours while school is in
session, and reduce their course load
while continuing to maintain F–1
nonimmigrant student status.
DHS has reviewed conditions in
Burma and determined that making
employment authorization available for
eligible nonimmigrant students is
warranted due to conditions in Burma.
On February 1, 2021, the Burmese
military perpetrated a coup, deposing
the democratically elected government.
The military is responding to the
Burmese people’s peaceful rejection of
the coup with brutal repression and
violence, resulting in large-scale human
rights abuses, including arbitrary
detentions and deadly force against
unarmed individuals. The coup has
triggered a humanitarian crisis,
including the disruption of
communications and limited access to
medical care. The impacts include,
among other things, the closure of banks
and interruptions of payments and cash
withdrawal systems, as well as a
reported increase in prices of basic
commodities, including food,
construction materials and fuel in some
areas. Among those in need of
humanitarian assistance are over
330,000 people in Burma who remain
internally displaced.2
