Pretty much, just like your views on the Catholic Church.

I’m not sure this was an end date dispute. The inference is trust us, we know he’s a threat to national security and due process doesn’t apply because we said so all because of something he said.

See the difference between right and wrong here?

Was that the reason the UH professor’s visa was canceled? Link?

How are we doing with asylum seekers? Generous or stringent?

Unless there’s an end-date discrepancy that’s what it seems like to me.

What does it seem like to you if there’s no such misunderstanding of when/how the visa is to be terminated?

Prof seemed awfully surprised by the urgency of it all.

OK I’ll do the leg work for you

“We are aware that one University of Houston faculty member has been affected by the SEVIS visa terminations based on his recent status as a doctoral student at another institution,” the statement read.

Sounds like a bonafide visa problem to me.

Here’s the thing. If he was going to work in the USA as a tenure track professor, shouldn’t he have gone ahead and put in a green card packet?

Hell, my wife sponsored my Mother in law’s green card packet from China during her six month visa stay; she was approved and has had a green card ever since.

My wife, incidentally, is a naturalized citizen.

Does your wife ever travel back to China?

When the visa is up it’s time to go home.

She hasn’t since she became a citizen, but will likely have to after her Mom passes.

She still owns a condo there and will need to sell it at that point.

F-1 (student) visas are not eligible for green cards, and most employment visas require you to work for several years (6 if you’re on an H-1B) before applying for a green card.

My point is
why didn’t UH help him to get a WORK visa instead of a student one, and at that point, if he planned to be on tenure track
why didn’t he put in a green card packet?

Why was he here on a student visa if he planned to work as a faculty member as opposed to being here as a student?

Seems that he didn’t follow the right protocol.

That’s the common path. Use your student visa for the first few years and then get a company to sponsor you for an H1B. Literally everyone does it this way. You can’t fault UH or the kid.
