April 25, 2025: Class-Action Lawsuits, Temporary Restraining Orders, & Reinstated Student Visa Records
The media has been reporting on various lawsuits, including class-action lawsuits, and resulting temporary restraining orders to stop the termination of immigration status and revocation of visas of international students.
The government has reactivated some terminated international student SEVIS records nationally, including some at CU СÀ¶ÊÓƵ. ISSS is monitoring this situation closely and informing impacted students whose immigration status has been reactivated.
See the frequently asked questions (FAQ) below for more information.Â
