INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
Over the past few days, the International Center has learned that some current U-M students and recent graduates have had their student visas revoked and/or their SEVIS records terminated. The SEVIS record termination was done by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) without notification to the university or to the students. Visa revocations are issued by the Department of State (DoS) and communicated directly to the students, without notification to the university. DOS and DHS have not shared details on the specific reasons for these visa revocations or SEVIS record terminations.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released an updated interim final registration regulation on March 12, 2025, which is set to take effect on April 11, 2025. As this is an "interim" final regulation, DHS may provide further clarification and guidance in the future
Key Points of the New Regulation:
The staff of the International Center would like to express our sympathy and concern for U-M international students, scholars, and employees affected by the recent earthquake that struck Myanmar and impacted Thailand and other nearby regions. Our thoughts are with you, your families, and friends during this challenging time.
