US court sentenced to two lakh Indian students on a visa policy decision

A US court has given a big relief to nearly two lakh Indians by their decision. The court has ordered Indians to provide immediate relief to the visa policy. This order prevents United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) from implementing an adverse policy, under which international students (their dependents, such as spouses and children) are termed as 'illegal presence' while living there.

This decision of the court is also important because a law like 'illegal presence' can prevent entry to the United States for a certain period. Any person who has been here illegally for more than 180 days before leaving the US, can be prevented from going back to the US for the next three years. Apart from this, a person who has been illegally staying for more than a year in the US can be stopped from coming here for 10 years.

This order came in response to the petition on May 3, which was filed by the College of Gilford, The New School, and many others. After reaching court in the court, partner Paul Hugh told in Mayor Brown, "The purpose of this is to secure the rights of international students. The new USCIS policy has deteriorated the immigration process that has been running for more than two decades, which is illegal.

The new law had started the problem

This case is related to that policy of USCIS (which is currently prohibited by the court), which came into force on August 9, 2018. Under this, if foreign students live in the US, the visa duration or degree will be termed as 'illegal presence'. According to earlier rules, even after the end of the visa period, students could live in America for 6 months.
