To require an institution of higher education that becomes aware that a student having nonimmigrant status under subparagraph (F)(i) or (J) of section 101(a)(15) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)) has endorsed or supported a foreign terrorist organization to notify the SEVIS, and for other purposes.
HR 9158 requires U.S. colleges and universities to immediately report to the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) if a student holding an F-1 or J-1 visa supports a designated foreign terrorist organization. This applies to students on temporary visas for academic or exchange programs who endorse or participate in activities linked to such groups. If verified, the State Department would revoke the student's visa, and Homeland Security would begin removal proceedings. The bill targets specific visa holders directly affected by terrorism-related activity, with no broader policy changes beyond this reporting and enforcement mechanism.
