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 2204 requires U.S. universities to immediately report international students on F-1 or J-1 visas who support designated foreign terrorist organizations to the government's Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). If verified, the State Department would revoke the student's visa, and Homeland Security would begin removal proceedings. This bill directly affects international students holding F-1 or J-1 visas who endorse or support groups designated as foreign terrorist organizations under U.S. law. The key mechanism is a mandatory reporting requirement for universities, triggering visa revocation and potential deportation for affected students.
