Unrest in Syria Since March 2011
U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE), DHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

This notice informs the public
of the extension of and addition to an
earlier notice, which suspended certain
requirements for F–1 nonimmigrant
students whose country of citizenship is
Syria and who are experiencing severe
economic hardship as a direct result of
the civil unrest in Syria since March
2011. This notice extends the effective
date of that notice and expands the
application of such suspension to
students whose country of citizenship is
Syria and who lawfully obtained F–1
nonimmigrant student status between
the date of the original notice and
September 9, 2016.
DATES: This notice is effective
September 9, 2016 and will remain in
effect until March 31, 2018.

SUMMARY:

What action is DHS taking under this
notice?
The Secretary of Homeland Security
is exercising his authority under 8 CFR
214.2(f)(9) to extend the suspension of

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:11 Sep 08, 2016

Jkt 238001

the applicability of certain requirements
governing on-campus and off-campus
employment for F–1 nonimmigrant
students whose country of citizenship is
Syria and who are experiencing severe
economic hardship as a direct result of
the civil unrest in Syria since March
2011. See 77 FR 20038 (April 3, 2012).
This notice also suspends these same
regulatory requirements for students
whose country of citizenship is Syria
and who lawfully obtained F–1
nonimmigrant student status between
the date of the original notice and
September 9, 2016. The original notice
was effective from April 3, 2012 until
October 3, 2013. A subsequent notice
provided for an 18-month extension
from October 3, 2013, through March
31, 2015. See 78 FR 36211 (June 17,
2013). A third notice provided another
18-month extension from March 31,
2015, through September 30, 2016. See
80 FR 232 (January 5, 2015). Effective
with this publication, suspension of the
employment limitations is extended for
18 months from September 30, 2016,
until March 31, 2018. This publication
also suspends the applicability of the
same regulatory requirements in 8 CFR
214.2(f)(9) for students who meet the
requirements contained in the notice
below as of September 9, 2016.
F–1 nonimmigrant students granted
employment authorization through the
notice will continue to be deemed to be
engaged in a ‘‘full course of study’’ for
the duration of their employment
authorization, provided they satisfy the
minimum course load requirement
described in 77 FR 20038. See 8 CFR
214.2(f)(6)(i)(F).
Who is covered under this action?
This notice applies exclusively to F–
1 nonimmigrant students whose country
of citizenship is Syria and who were
lawfully present in the United States in
F–1 nonimmigrant status on or after
April 3, 2012, through September 9,
2016 under section 101(a)(15)(F)(i) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act
(INA), 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(F)(i); and
are—
(1) Enrolled in an institution that is
Student and Exchange Visitor Program
(SEVP)-certified for enrollment of F–1
students,
(2) Currently maintaining F–1 status,
and
(3) Experiencing severe economic
hardship as a direct result of the
ongoing civil unrest in Syria since
March 2011.
ICE records show that as of August
2016, there are approximately 700
Syrian F–1 Visa holders in active status
who would be covered by this notice.
This notice applies to both

undergraduate and graduate students, as
well as elementary school, middle
school, and high school students. The
notice, however, applies differently to
elementary school, middle school, and
high school students (see the discussion
published at 77 FR 20040, available at
http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-201204-03/pdf/2012-7960.pdf, in the
question, ‘‘Does this notice apply to
elementary school, middle school, and
high school students in F–1 status?’’).
F–1 students covered by this notice
who transfer to other academic
institutions that are SEVP-certified for
enrollment of F–1 students remain
eligible for the relief provided by means
of this notice.
Why is DHS taking this action?
The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) took action to provide
temporary relief to F–1 nonimmigrant
students whose country of citizenship is
Syria and who experienced severe
economic hardship because of the civil
unrest in Syria since March 2011. See
77 FR 20038 (April 3, 2012). It enabled
these F–1 students to obtain
employment authorization, work an
increased number of hours while school
was in session, and reduce their course
load, while continuing to maintain their
F–1 student status. In June 2013 and
again in January 2015, DHS
acknowledged that the the civil unrest
in Syria continued to affect Syria’s
citizens, with many people still
displaced as a result. DHS extended the
application of the original April 3, 2012,
notice through September 30, 2016, to
continue to provide temporary relief to
Syrian F–1 students who experienced
severe economic hardship as a result of
the conflict. Despite DHS’s
determination that the civil conflict in
Syria continued well beyond the
October 3, 2013 expiration date of the
original notice, previous extensions of
the original notice did not make
temporary relief available to Syrian F–
1 students who became lawfully present
in the United States in F–1
nonimmigrant status after April 3, 2012.
The conflict in Syria continues to
affect the physical and economic
security of its citizens. Syria is
experiencing ongoing civil unrest,
resulting in the continuing
displacement of massive numbers of its
citizens. As of October 2015, a United
Nations report indicated that
approximately 6.5 million Syrians were
internally displaced. A number of
violent extremist groups have factored
prominently in the conflict and pose a
danger to civilians. Various radical
Islamist organizations have been
actively engaged in armed resistance in
