Universities and higher education institutions in the US have challenged the new restrictions on Curricular Practical Training (CPT) for international students, arguing that the policy was introduced abruptly and changes how schools previously interpreted CPT eligibility.
In August, the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), which is part of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), issued two broad messages to schools, outlining a narrower interpretation of the requirements for F-1 students seeking CPT, according to Yale University's Office of International Students & Scholars.
