I say to my colleague that I remain unconvinced that this regulation is consistent with the intent of Congress. This situation concerns me because a liberal arts college in Missouri that offers a full-time undergraduate curriculum includes practical training. For a number of reasons, the foreign students are rotated along with the American students through the program and a number of students begin the internship training in their first year of school. This is an impressive program. The school ensures that all the foreign students are lawfully enrolled. Finally, the college values the enrollment and participation of the F-1 visa holders. It is important to the future and the success of the program to have the flexibility to rotate the students through the practical training as needed. Would my colleague agree that this is a matter that deserves the attention of the INS? Should the INS find that the program is a valid program and the students are lawfully admitted, I believe these students should be permitted to participate in the practical training in this manner.
