President Rodin’s Letter Concerning Student Visas This letter by Dr. Rodin in response to Senator Feinstein’s announcement introducing legislation to reform the U.S. Student Visa Program. Specifically this letter responds to the imposition of a six-month moratorium on the issuance of foreign student visas to give the INS time to fully develop its foreign student tracking system and to put into place the necessary infrastructure to detect foreign students who have violated the terms of their visas. |
