Legal Battle for National Ruling Continues in Student Visa Case Despite Sudden Reinstatements
Just a day before a key hearing in which a United States District judge in Oakland could have decided the fates of hundreds of students nationwide whose visas had been terminated, students, attorneys and universities across the country began reporting unexpected reinstatements of their status — even for individuals who had not filed a lawsuit. The judge granted a temporary status restoration to all of the plaintiffs named in the case, but did not make a national order. The next hearing is set for mid-May.
