Two more student visas have been revoked since May 8, according to Fordham University Spokesperson Bob Howe. The University updated their website on May 13 stating: “You should be aware that the U.S. Department of State has again begun revoking the visas of international students and faculty, as of Thursday, May 8, in Fordham’s case.”
International students and faculty received an email on May 13, updating them on the reoccurring revocations. The process is different from earlier in the year, as students are receiving an email from the U.S Department of State informing them of their revocation rather than the University searching for them in the SEVIS system, and notifying them of the change in status.
This is an updating story.

I am a graduate school of Social Service. I with other people of conscience and under the spiritual guidance of a brother and Jesuit
Dan Berrigan to bring an end to the suffering, destruction and immorality of the war in Vietnam.
I can’t begin to express the sadness and sense of injustice I feel
regarding the revocation of these visas. it’s wrong. It’s a betrayal of the trust of these young women and men who have placed in our country and made the brave step forward to pursue a higher education in order to serve their communities.
I pray for them and for those in the
Department of State who have supported this injustice. I hope there is an effort from the University as a whole to rally support for them and to advocate for in asking to reconsider this action which is so clearly outside the bounds of what we the people of the United States stand for.
And,as a Fordham Alumna, I hope I can be a part of the that advocacy. Regards, Karen M Lydon, SCA
