I strongly feel that we as a community should protest to this. Our parents come to visit us often and if their visit is curtailed to 1 month it would make a huge impact in our lives. If the INS decided to let us stay in the US for benefiting the country then we should also get the right to let our loved ones come and visit us. I completely agree with them that people who come in with visitors visa should NOT be allowed to enter school without permission. That really does give a bad name to all international students coming in the US with a F1 visa. Law abiding people like us who did everything by the book from gettinga F1 visa and going through the whole process of getting a green card should not suffer because of people trying to by pass the law and doing illegal things like overstaying or jumping visa categories.
I would really like to get this message to the INS and express our concern. Please join me so that we can muster up enough number of people to start a campaign.
What I propose is the following:
1. Immediate family of F1, H1, J1 or permanent residents (people who have the right to stay in this country legally) should be still allowed to have a 10 year multiple entry visa.
2. Their stay should not be limited to 1 month and they should be allowed to stay for 6 months as before.
