The new system, which has not yet entered into force, should not be applied to itself because the old bulletin still reads on September 15th. Nor should any visa or internship requirements be considered cancelled because of the court ' s suspension.

Cases involving transfer, extension of courses, OPT or entry/exit should continue to be confirmed separately. The present document records the status of this court order and does not guarantee the outcome of subsequent appeals or administrative measures.
