[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] On the 13th (local time), the Chicago Tribune and others reported that 59 U.S. universities, including DePaul University, filed a lawsuit to block the government's visa restrictions on international students taking online courses, revealing cases of entry denial for Korean students.
In the complaint submitted to the court on the 12th, these universities stated that the U.S. government unfairly prohibited the entry of Korean international students by applying the new visa restriction regulations.
According to the complaint, an international student who departed from Korea and arrived at San Francisco Airport on the 8th was denied entry because they had not yet registered for courses at DePaul University.
At that time, immigration officers reportedly blocked the entry of the Korean student, stating that students not registered for courses did not meet the new visa requirements, according to these universities.
