Summary
The U.S. government has reversed its decision to cancel records of thousands of international students temporarily stored in the SEVIS database, allowing them to adjust or extend their legal status while clarifying its stance on revoking entries for noncitizens. This move aims to prevent students from being forced out of the country and may limit future changes to ICE's policies.
