The U.S. government has reversed the termination of legal status for international students across the nation, including several students at Cal State Long Beach. Five of the six CSULB student visas that had been revoked have been reinstated, university officials said.

CSULB students were notified by the university during the week of April 11 that their visas had been revoked. Four students currently are enrolled and two are participants in the Optional Practical Training program, which is a temporary employment authorization allowing eligible international students the opportunity to obtain real-world work experience, university officials said.

To their knowledge, officials said, none of the students is currently in federal custody.

Last week, the university updated its campus community that five of the six student visas had been reinstated. The CSULB administration learned of the reinstatements via the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security system that tracks international students’ compliance with their visa status.

CSULB President Jane Close Conoley shared with the university’s student newspaper, the Long Beach Current, that one of the students had a visa revoked while traveling and the university was making arrangements for that student’s remaining coursework to be completed online.

“There was such an outcry from universities,” Conoley told the Long Beach Current, “and there was no rhyme or reason to why these students were getting their visas revoked.”

The university does not yet have any additional information about the nature of the revocations, university spokesperson Jim Milbury said in a Wednesday statement.

“We have been in ongoing communication with all of our international students throughout this semester,” Milbury said, providing them with information and support, such as helping obtain legal counsel.

These CSULB students were among more than 1,200 students nationwide who suddenly lost their legal status or had visas revoked, leaving them at risk for deportation. Many said they had only minor infractions on their record or did not know why they were targeted.

A student visa can be revoked if the student violates the terms of the visa, according to Homeland Security, such as committing a crime or being suspended from school.

A total of 70 students across the 23-campus Cal State University system have been impacted by visa revocations since the start of the year, according to CSU officials. In California, more than 100 students who had their visas abruptly terminated will have them restored, at least temporarily, according to EdSource. Those include students at University of California and Cal State University campuses, Stanford University and Santa Monica College.

The Trump administration on April 25 said it would restore all terminated SEVIS statuses. This follows after the cancellations caused dozens of lawsuits around the country, including a coalition of state attorneys general, with participation from California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

In federal court on April 25, a Department of Justice attorney said Immigration and Customs Enforcement “is developing a policy that will provide a framework” for visa terminations and that until that policy is issued, visas for international students nationwide “will remain active or shall be reactivated if not currently active.”
