On the recordMay 2, 1996
There are many other situations that might cause a student to fall out of status. For example, a teaching assistant might have to devote an unusual amount of time to grading papers, or a foreign government's tuition payment might be delayed. As I said, I understand that the current practice of the INS in such circumstances is to reinstate such students and scholars to a valid status so that they may continue their studies. Does the Senator intend that these and similar INS practices should continue?
