美国政府宣布解除国际学生旅行禁令政策：来自受禁国家/地区的学生现在有资格从2021年8月1日起返回美国，这些国家/地区领事馆也很快将恢复运营。

持有有效F-1和M-1签证的国际学生打算在2021年8月1日或之后开始或继续学习课程，无需联系大使馆或领事馆签发NIE。 他们最早可以在开课前30天内入境美国。

申请新的F-1或M-1签证的学生应在最近的使馆或领事馆查询签证服务的状态； 具有F-1或M-1签证资格的其他申请人将被自动考虑签发NIE。

许多美国大学都已做好准备，并实施安全有效的政策。CDC疾病预防控制中心每周都会提供更新的指导，以确保国人安全和健康。美国人也都持续在接种疫苗。未来学校和企业将陆续重新开放，国际学生也将有资格在校园内接种疫苗。

国际学生若预计今年秋季入学，各地使馆将重新开放，建议学生尽快预约申请签证。

The Biden administration has announced the international student travel ban policy will no longer be in effect: Students from banned countries are now eligible to return to the United States effective August 1, 2021, and consular operations will resume in these countries very soon.

The International Student Travel Ban Is Lifted

Here are the official details:

l   International students with valid F-1 and M-1 visas intending to begin or continue an academic program starting on or after August 1, 2021, do not need to contact an embassy or consulate to seek an individual National Interest Exception (NIE) to travel. They may enter the United States no earlier than 30 days before the start of their academic studies. 

l   Students seeking to apply for new F-1 or M-1 visas should check the status of visa services at the nearest embassy or consulate; those applicants who are found to be otherwise qualified for an F-1 or M-1 visa will automatically be considered for a NIE to travel.

How U.S. Universities Are Preparing for Fall 2021

U.S. universities are ready, having implemented safe and effective policies that will protect students while on campus as they return to in-class instruction. International students planning on coming to the U.S. this fall should have a high level of confidence knowing that their safety is their school’s number–one priority.

Each week, we see increased guidance from the CDC as they issue new and updated instructions helping Americans navigate staying safe and healthy. Each day, thousands of Americans are getting vaccinated — which means schools and businesses can continue to reopen, and the rhythms of daily life can soon fully resume. And international students are also eligible to get vaccinated on campus.

Make Preparations Early

If you are planning to study in the U.S. this fall, do not delay.

l   Embassies around the world are in the process of reopening and appointments will fill up quickly. We recommend students make appointments as soon as possible.

l   May is an ideal time for students to get their visas: Data has shown that visa success rates are higher earlier in the enrollment process.

l   Confirm your enrollment as soon as possible: Early enrollment comes with multiple benefits, including first choice of housing options.
