Update on revocation of student visas

Stanford learned on Friday, April 4, that four students and two recent graduates have had their student visas revoked.  The University learned of the revocations during a routine check of the SEVIS database. Stanford notified the students of the revocations and made external legal assistance available to them. To protect student privacy, Stanford is unable to identify the individuals or provide other details. We are not currently aware of the details of the revocations or the reasons for them. We also are not aware of any presence of immigration authorities on campus today.

Stanford deeply values its international community of scholars and remains committed to supporting the well-being of all members of our community. We understand that these developments may be deeply unsettling for members of our community. Resources for those seeking assistance are available through the Bechtel International Center and on this website.
