7.15 ICE FAQ

请教大家一个小问题：
七月十五号ICE发的新的FAQs是指所有新生都不能入境吗？如果刚办好F1且学校是hybrid的话，可以入境吗？感谢！！

有发新的faqs吗？求个链接

https://www.ice.gov/doclib/coronavirus/covid19faq.pdf
我也看到了。目前学校回复是ICE这个FAQ说明存在问题，还在和ICE征求进一步说明。

昨天我们学校townhall说，现在的争议是faq里面" If Initial students have not arrived in the United States, they should remain in their home country." 里面should是什么意思。
如果should是must，那新生拿到签证也不可以入境。如果是recommendation，还是有可能会让入境。这句话说的很模糊，学校们正在和ICE clarify这个什么意思。

Someone on twitter called the ICE and got some positive response:

Some others pointed out that this is the same FAQ-answer as in the March one - so do expect change and clarification.
反正让不让进都回国无望，不让进就B1/2留美线上了；回国机票够在美国生活到学期结束了

补充内容 (2020-7-22 17:26):
I double-checked. It was the same Q&A paragraph as in their earlier FAQ. So apparently they just copied and pasted it without a second thought. Doesn't mean they've made up their mind on this.

补充内容 (2020-7-22 17:29):
But honestly I feel like they're just tryin to confuse ppl so as to effectively discourage new students to come. It's late July already and schools & students still don't know how to proceed. 做个人吧

嗯嗯，谢谢！

你办好签证了吗？也等这个问答的解释

楼主等学校回复了的话，请在这里也update下大家吧，十分感谢！

我们学校在新规被诉讼撤回以后发的指南没提这个内容。

但是学校目前的说法是所有transfer/continuing student可以上任意网课，且在国外上一学期网课不影响SEVIS身份。但是！新生（New student）必须选至少一节in-person/hybrid，同时学校推荐新生最好不要超过1节网课。
