写了一个发给校方的简易模板 大家讨论讨论

Hi ( ),

I am currently a (  ) student and this is my ( )st semester at ( ) Unviersity. I am now taking the course online in China and still waiting for the US Ambassy to reopen and file me F-1 visa. I think the courses are quite good and the professors and TAs help me a lot. I am looking forward to being in ( ) on site next semester.

Most of the students who applied for the ( ) University especially ( ) program are aimed at working in the United States in the future, the good reputation and the high rate of entering big companies impressed us and we gathered here in (  ).

Now after international students graduate from the school and if they have already found an employer who is willing to hire them, they can work immediately after the OPT is approved. However, the DHS has proposed a new rule to change admission period structure for F visa Nonimmigrants and add a new process called EOS, which currently will take half a year or more(if it is realy implemented on F-1 students this process will for sure take much longer time), which prevent international students from working in US( companies will merely be willing to wait so long time for a new grad one).

I know for citizens and permanent residents it is not so important and ignorable, but for us, who want to work in the US, it really means a lot. If the proposal is passed, the road of taking a master and working in the US will be heavily influenced, or almost blocked. The universities will be influenced heavily by this proposal too, there wil be far less international students and the quality of students will be worse.

As I know, this fall 2020  more and more students are already considering applying universities outside US like Singapore, UK or Canada, if the proposal passed, the trend will continue. As a student of (   )University, I want our university to be better, and I will be proud of being an alumni of (   ) in the future. I think you and other faculty members will too.  

The proposal is aimed at reducing the ovestay of international students, but in fact international students and exchange visitors are the most tracked by ICE and the current D/S has no evidence of increasing visa overstays. The new proposal will limit the duration of visa, but we all know that D/S is good policy that allows for the flexibility necessary for pursuing education.  Like here in ( ) program, we can graduate in flexible duration considering the different choices that students make, if the proposal implement, we will have less choice, which makes ( ) program lose part of its charm.

I hope that (  ) University can take the responsibility of a good university, like the Harvard and MIT, who are defending students' rights, and show your attitude of objection towards this proposal, your voice carries far more weight than us.  Me and many of international students have also submitted formal comments on DHS official website, we still want your help because we think your objection will speak louder than hundreds of us.

Thank you so much!

水平有限，想不到什么很新的点子发在DHS官网上，就想着通过提醒校方能贡献自己的一份力量， 校方毕竟话语权还是比小小个人有分量。
求加米~
希望这个proposal一定不要过！

谢谢！只有多一些你这样的人，我们的权利才能得到捍卫！ 跟以前相比，在美华人也是越来越团结了，好事！

H1b的I-94上面有明确的截止日，最多一次给3年。几年前h1b容易而且延期还会放水所以还好，现在每次折腾延期都要掉N层皮，而且是和新的h1b一样审核。F1要也这么搞，甚至2年一延期，现在也收得这么紧，那几乎没人可以安心读书了。

提个简单的建议，可以提一下Phd会收到的可能影响

因为这个EOS政策对来读Phd学生影响也挺大的

刚给我们学校的国际学生办写了信，很快就收到回复，说他们在关注此事并且会"fight against these types of unfavorable immigration policies"。虽然已经工作几年，但这事我必须得给学校发个声。

啊不好意思我是MS没注意到phd，你也可以自己以phd的视角写一封给老板或者学校，他们也会重视的~ 就是需要不同的身份的不同意见来表明这个proposal影响之广泛！

h1b的这个例子很好啊，万一以后新规通过，就是会变成这个样子，影响到所有来美读书的人。所以玩玩不能让新规通过

h1b其实还比F好些，因为经常有常规加急处理可选，不至于拖N个月不出结果误事。

F/J 要是这么搞，I-539表不但没常规加急，现在还要去打一次指纹。就是这个打指纹，让之前H4 和 H4 EAD可以蹭H1加急的福利再也没了，疫情一来因为打不了指纹更是积压了一大批案子。这么搞的话处理时间真不敢想了。
