WASHINGTON, March 31 (KUNA) -- Kuwait Embassy in Washington called on Kuwaiti students who finished their university studies or due to graduate this semester to contact immigration authorities to extend their residency permits.
The embassy, in a statement Tuesday, said those students should ask their universities to maintain their residency permit or reactivating it through the "SEVIS" platform, in order to give the student more time to correct his legal residency status.
Those students, it added, should request an extension or change status of their residencies through: www.uscis.gov/i-539.
If a request is submitted, said the embassy, his residency would not be considered expired until a decision adopted regarding his request.
The embassy said the cultural offices would reach out to all students for clarifications. (end)
