On Dec. 9, 2022, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a Special Student Relief (SSR) notice for Ethiopian students. The <\/span>Federal Register notice<\/span><\/a> was published Dec. 12, 2022. To be eligible, an F-1 student must:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Be a citizen of Ethiopia, regardless of country of birth (or be an individual having no nationality who last habitually resided in Ethiopia);<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Have been lawfully present in the United States in F-1 nonimmigrant status on Dec. 12, 2022;<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Be currently maintaining F-1 nonimmigrant status;<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Be enrolled in an SEVP-certified academic institution; and<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Be experiencing severe economic hardship \u201cas a direct result of the ongoing crisis in Ethiopia\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In summary, Ethiopian students meeting the conditions above may apply for on-campus or off-campus work authorization for severe economic hardship due to circumstances back home.\u00a0 This suspends the regulatory requirements for such authorizations, allowing work over the 20 hour\/week limit while enrolling part-time if needed. Undergraduates will have to maintain at least 6 credit hours per term, while graduate students must maintain at least 3 credit hours. Students must be working in order to receive a reduced course load authorization. Students must apply for this benefit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    For details of this SSR and to apply, students should first <\/span>make an appointment with an ISS advisor<\/b><\/a> to determine eligibility and to receive the authorization.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
