As a result of a suit filed by Harvard and MIT against the USCIS, F-1 international students can once again take online courses and maintain their immigration status. ICE guidance has been rescinded as a result of the Federal court case, President and Fellows of Harvard College et al. v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security et al., case number 1:20-cv-11283, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. It appears that the Harvard suit filed against DHS which was set for oral arguments today but ended swiftly as the government agreed to back off of the new ICE directive which put students taking only online courses (due to Covid-19) in jeopardy of losing their immigration status.
