If a student’s visa is revoked, it does not automatically mean they must leave the country. But if a student’s SEVIS record is terminated — as the NC State students’ records initially were, according to the university — they could be subject to deportation or other removal proceedings.

UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State restore all revoked international student visas after federal reversal. CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — All previously terminated international student visas at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University have been restored, both universities said.

ACLU of Indiana announced that state universities confirmed that international students had their legal status and visas restored.
