Department of Homeland Security June 10, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This notice informs the public of the suspension of certain regulatory requirements for F-1 nonimmigrant students whose country of citizenship is Libya and who are experiencing severe economic hardship as a direct result of the civil unrest in Libya since February 2011. 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. This suspension of certain regulatory requirements will automatically terminate on December 31, 2011, without further notice.
