Federal Officials Pull Back on Efforts to Cancel International Student Visas

According to news reports, federal officials in Washington announced in court proceedings earlier today that they have stopped canceling U.S. visas for international students. Federal officials are reportedly developing a new system to review visas for international students and will not terminate any student visas until that process is in place.

Wake Forest students who have questions or concerns about their visa status should contact the University’s Center for Immigration Support and Services at 336-758-3739 or by email at iss.wfu.edu.

Should you or other members of the Wake Forest community ever be contacted by officials from ICE, the Department of Homeland Security or other federal agencies, please immediately contact the University Police Department at 336-758-5591 or the CARE line at 336-758-2273.
