Dear UW International Students,
In light of the USCIS press release on autumn 2020 today, we would like to let you know that we too were taken aback by this announcement and were not anticipating these new developments. ISS and other offices on campus have forwarded questions and concerns stirred by this announcement to UW Leadership and UW Federal Relations. At this time, we do not have further updates or information, but know the UW is reviewing the announced modifications and consulting experts in the field to understand and interpret these upcoming changes. We understand that you and your family may feel anxious about these modifications and how they can impact your studies, but please be aware that these changes have not been published to the Federal Register and may not be final yet. Once we understand what these changes mean specifically for UW international students, ISS will update their COVID-19 information page and will send email updates to all currently enrolled F1 students regarding the updates.
We appreciate your patience.
