Momento oportuno p lembrar q “uma escolha muito dificil” era entre o candidatos desses cara ai e o Haddad

Um dos gigantes que tivemos...

I have no idea how many international PhD students come to the US and never go back home until they finish their studies but I would guess that the vast majority does leave (and return) at some point before 4 years.

I am not saying this is fine--it will be a series of unnecessary and costly steps--but I don't think it means people must finish a PhD in 4 years, just that they can't stay in the US indefinitely while their PhD is ongoing.

What I read the new ruling to mean is that one cannot stay indefinitely, as long as one's status as a student remains active. Rather, it means that students can stay up to 4 years each time they entry in the US. A grad student could come, stay for 4 years, leave, renew their visa, and come back

For example, my visa expired in 2021 but the US embassy in Brazil was closed due to Covid, thus limiting my ability to get my visa renewed. However, since I was inside the US when the expiration happened, I could stay for the "duration of my status" as an F1, even with an expired visa.

It is catastrophic if the rule means grads can only stay for 4 years in total, but I am not sure this is what it implies. The Duration of Status thing always meant that once one was in the US, one could stay until the end of ones academic program, regardless of the expiration date of one's visa

nesse caso tb nao precisa de fantasia

Congresswoman, the vast majority of people who have US visas have tourist visas and live abroad. Only a small fraction of 55mi actually live in the US

Isso eh serio. Pessoas expostas ao cesio passam decadas votando p Ronaldo Caiado

eh q vc ta ficando fresco

last time in rio, I asked on twitter "where can I get good pizza" and the dominant answer was "São Paulo"

it is probably due to one of those stories cariocas come up with that state that the city is so pretty that people put up with anything, from terrible politicians to terrible pizza

Incrível como todo Bolsonarista que vai preso tem todos seus problemas descritos exaustivamente e por mais que eu procure eu nunca consigo achar nenhum problema que seja meu

Rachel, the link you shared redirects to a webpage that one can only see if one has a Cornell account :-(
