Study Abroad Act

HR 8322, titled the "Study Abroad Act," would revoke F, J, or M visas for foreign students arrested for rioting, unlawful protest, or establishing/promoting campus encampments since October 7, 2023. It directly affects international students on these visa types who face such arrests. The bill mandates the Secretary of State to automatically revoke visas upon arrest for these specific campus-related activities. It does not alter study abroad programs but targets visa status for protest-related arrests. The title misrepresents the bill’s focus on visa revocation rather than study abroad support.
