AAU joined ACE and four other higher education associations to send a letter to the State Department urging guidance for current and new international students seeking to study in the U.S. beginning in the fall. The letter addresses concern about the suspension of premium processing, urges the Department to consider waiving in-person interviews for F-1 and M-1 applicants, and follows up on an earlier request to grant visa status flexibility for F-1 students following graduation.
