F1 visa updates: Will US soon lift restrictions on student visas as Trump goes soft on China?
Restrictions on international student visas could be lifted soon. As President Donald Trump has softened his stance on Chinese students and said Wednesday that Chinese students would be welcome in US colleges and universities, it is anticipated that the temporary restriction on international student visa applications would be lifted soon. In the US-China trade deal, the Trump administration has agreed to accept Chinese students, as Trump announced on Truth Social: "We will provide to China what was agreed to, including Chinese students using our colleges and universities." Trump also announced that he had always been in favor of admitting foreign students to the US as that helps US schools and universities as well. "We have 500,000 students coming in from China," Trump said. Pause on all visa interviews for social media vetting All US embassies and consular sections were asked to pause all visa interviews for the time being by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The reason cited was a preparation for an extensive social media vetting. "Effective immediately, in preparation for an expansion of required social media screening and vetting, consular sections should not add any additional students of exchange visitor (F, M and J) visa appointment capacity until further guidance is issued septel (separate telegram), which we anticipate in the coming days," the cable said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

"People should watch for those spaces to be open, should continue to apply. This is not going to be a lengthy or an ongoing dynamic," Bruce told reporters. "It was meant for a specific, almost an administrative adjustment." She said the interview pause was to ensure embassies and consulates knew what to expect in terms of additional vetting. "And that process, we were told, would be rapid," Bruce said.

Google gives these employees three-days ‘warning' to …. or leave the company
Google is tightening its return-to-office policies across multiple divisions, requiring remote employees within 50 miles of company offices to work on-site at least three days per week or face potential job loss. The tech giant announced the expanded mandate alongside voluntary buyout programs for US-based workers in Search, marketing, research, and core engineering teams. The new policy affects employees in Google's Knowledge & Information division, which houses Search, ads and commerce operations, as well as Core engineering teams. Remote workers who live within 50 miles of approved Google offices must now transition to a hybrid 3-day schedule by September or accept severance packages. "When it comes to connection, collaboration, and moving quickly to innovate together, there's just no substitute for coming together in person," said Jen Fitzpatrick, Senior Vice President of Core Systems, in an internal memo obtained by multiple outlets. Google executives push in-person collaboration strategy by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Nick Fox, head of Google's Knowledge & Information group, emphasized the company's commitment to having fully engaged employees. "My goal is for every single one of us here to be all-in on building the future of our products," Fox wrote in his memo to staff. The executive made clear that high-performing employees should remain with the company, stating: "If you're excited about your work, energized by the opportunity ahead, and performing well, I really (really!) hope you don't take this!" However, Fox also offered an alternative for struggling employees: "This VEP offers a supportive exit path for those of you who don't feel aligned with our strategy, don't feel energized by your work, or are having difficulty meeting the expectations of your role." Google's crackdown on remote work continues This announcement builds on Google's ongoing efforts to reduce remote work flexibility. In April 2025, the company began requiring remote workers in various divisions to return to offices or face elimination of their positions, with some employees receiving relocation assistance to move within 50 miles of company facilities. Google has been conducting targeted buyout programs since early 2025, following widespread layoffs in 2023 that eliminated 12,000 positions. The company continues hiring while streamlining operations to focus resources on artificial intelligence development and infrastructure investments. The policy excludes employees in DeepMind, Google Cloud, YouTube, and central advertising sales divisions, though YouTube separately requires office returns for nearby remote workers.

Court Awards Rs 27 Lakh Compensation To Man Injured In 2019 Road Accident
New Delhi: A motor accident claims tribunal awarded Rs 27 lakh as compensation to a man injured in a 2019 road accident. The man, Prahalad Rai, was riding his two-wheeler from Kalindi Kunj to Madanpur Khadar when a rashly driven truck rammed his vehicle on July 9, 2019. The tribunal computed the total compensation under various pecuniary and non-pecuniary losses. It directed the insurer, United India Insurance Company Limited, to pay the entire compensation along with interest. Presiding officer Shelly Arora stated that the psychological and emotional consequences of the injury diminished Rai's capacity to adapt to alternative employment or social settings, thus compounding the overall effect on his earning ability. "Given the substantial impact on his ability to undertake field-oriented work, his functional disability is assessed as 50%concerning his earning capacity," the court, in an order dated June 4, said. The tribunal stated that it was established that the accident occurred "on account of the speedy and rash driving" by the truck driver. The court further said that according to the precedents of the Supreme Court and high courts, medically determined permanent disability cannot be equated with loss of earning capacity due to functional disability, as it would result in non-objective and absurd compensation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025: Steel Suppliers From Mexico At Lowest Prices (Take A Look) Steel Suppliers | search ads Search Now Undo "There, however, might be certain cases where the two would correspond to each other, but it cannot be mechanically applied; rather, it requires evaluation of applicable factors independently in each case to reach a fair quantification of loss of earning capacity," it added. The court noted that the claimant, who was employed as a delivery boy, endured substantial disability, including deformity in the left lower limb. "This impairment significantly restricts mobility, a critical requirement for his prior employment, which heavily relied on driving and physical activity. The nature of his injury directly impacts his ability to perform essential job functions, particularly those involving extensive fieldwork and continuous driving, which are indispensable for a delivery boy," it stated.
