The F-1 visa of many foreign students in the US has been canceled. Some have been warned to leave the country and some have been detained. They are accused of participating in anti -national activity.
There is an atmosphere of nervousness among the students studying abroad by the US government’s move. Meanwhile, Dainik Bhaskar Digital spoke to the top legal experts of the US who looked at the immigration cases.
To know the answers to these questions, we talked to two big immigration lawyers Sheela Murthy and Cyrus D. Mehta. They believe that even if a student’s visa is canceled, they do not need to panic.
Question: Students’ visa canceled, will America have to leave?
Sheela Murthy says that there is a difference between cancellation of visa and cancellation of status. Visa is only a document of entry into America. If a student went out of the US and tried to take an entry again, he could be stopped due to cancellation of visa.
Question: What is the way for those who are going to end?
Students whose studies are going to end in 1-2 months should also not be afraid of this email. Sheela Murthy says that if a student has been asked to leave the US, he can seek the help of a lawyer.
It is a fundamental right that the status of a person cannot be tampered with without a judicial process. The department can only cancel the visa, the decision on the status is only homeland security and the jurisdiction of the court.
Question: Is action correct on social media activity?
Cyrus de Mehta clearly says that it is not an anti -national activity to like the anti -Israel post on campus activism or social media.
According to him, “This is a foolish decision taken by the Trump administration.” Under the Constitution in the US, all the freedom of expression and the right to perform peaceful performance to all.
Question: Can students be forcibly dried?
Cyrus says that a student cannot be forcibly seated, unless he is passed through a legal process.
In the process of Deportation, the student gets full opportunity to present his case in front of the judge by appearing in the immigration court.
However, in some cases the government is denting students, especially those who have indicated being a supporter of Hamas or Palestine. It can be difficult to challenge in the event of detention, but not impossible.
Question: What to do if the self -Deport has a mail?
The mail sent to many students has been asked to ‘leave America voluntarily’. Both Sheela and Cyrus believe that it is not legally binding.
If such students want, they can challenge this decision in the Federal Court. He has full right to take a stay from the court and review the decision.
US government identifying students with the help of AI app
The US government is identifying such students with the help of the AI app ‘Catch and Rivok’. According to External Affairs Minister Marco Rubio, till March 26, the F-1 visa of more than 300 ‘Hamas’ students has been canceled. It also includes many Indian students.
With the help of this app, on March 5, a student of Turki, Rumca Ozaturk, was identified. She was studying at Tofts University, Boston. He posted on social media in support of Palestine, after which the US State Ministry canceled his visa.
Warning in e-mail- leave the country, otherwise it will be detained
This mail has been sent to many university students. It has popular institutions like Harvard, Columbia, Yale, California and Michigan University. However, the accurate information of how many students of universities have been sent this mail have not been revealed yet.
In the email, the students were told that their F-1 visa has been canceled under Section 221 (i) of the US Immigration and Nationality Act. Now if they live in America, they can be fined, they can be detained or submitted.
Email also states that students can be sent to other countries besides their home countries. So it is better that the students leave America by themselves.
