Visas revoked for some SNHU students, UNH students see SEVIS records terminated
Southern New Hampshire University confirmed late Friday several international students had their student visas terminated by federal officials. Officials at the University of New Hampshire also said they know of three former students whose Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) records have been terminated by officials with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. According to the U.S. Department of Education, SEVIS records are terminated under a five-month rule, which applies to students who have been away from classes or not considered active students for five months. Siobhan Lopez, Director of Media Relations for Southern NH University (SNHU), said over the past week SNHU officials learned 'some of our campus-based international students and graduates had their visas revoked and student status terminated by the federal government.' 'We are working with the impacted students to connect them with resources,' Lopez wrote in an email. 'Our international students are a vital part of our university who bring diverse perspectives, rich cultural experiences, and unique academic strengths that enhance our entire campus.' Lopez said SNHU was not notified by federal authorities of the changes. 'We did not work with federal agencies to proactively supply any student information related to these status revocations,' Lopez wrote. 'SNHU only learned about them through proactive monitoring of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) database.' Lopez said SNHU will comply with 'lawfully issued warrants, subpoenas, and record requests' in accordance with FERPA and other applicable laws 'while protecting the legal rights of the university and our community members.' 'Our students and employees are our top priority, and we will continue to focus on supporting them,' Lopez wrote.

At least Advertisement International students at other universities have similarly had their Lopez did not say if any explanation was given for the visa revocations of students at SNHU. Meanwhile, immigration attorneys in New Hampshire said they've heard from many international students reaching out for help. 'There are many more than two students impacted,' said Emily A. White, an immigration attorney at Orr & Reno, in an email. White said she has heard from students at higher education institutions throughout the state who have either had their student status terminated or a visa revoked by the US Department of State. Spokespeople at the University of New Hampshire, Saint Anselm College, and Keene State College said they are not aware of any students who have had their visas revoked. A spokesperson for New England College did not return a request for comment. Immigration attorneys warn that the consequences for international students caught in limbo can be great. 'These decisions seem so abstract and bureaucratic, but really they are affecting real people with real jobs and real families,' said Ronald L. Abramson, an immigration attorney at Shaheen & Gordon. He said for students with a revoked visa, the biggest fear is that they could be detained and put into removal proceedings. 'There's the fear that a person who has invested so much time and effort and money to get this far in their academic trajectory is having the rug pulled out from under them at the last minute for no reason,' he said, noting that for some of the students there is no apparent indication they've broken any laws.
