implemented a one-time quadrennial timeframe for 

reoccurring audits originally scheduled to take 

place in 2020, 2021, and 2022. This postponed the

[Docket No. ICEB–2023–0006] 

RIN 1653–ZA42 

Employment Authorization for Afghan 

F–1 Nonimmigrant Students 

Experiencing Severe Economic 

Hardship as a Direct Result of the 

Current Armed Conflict and Current 

Humanitarian Crisis in Afghanistan 

AGENCY: U.S. Immigration and Customs 

Enforcement; Department of Homeland 

Security. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces that 

the Secretary of Homeland Security 

(Secretary) is suspending certain 

regulatory requirements for F–1 

nonimmigrant students whose country 

of citizenship is Afghanistan, regardless 

of country of birth (or individuals 

having no nationality who last 

habitually resided in Afghanistan), and 

who are experiencing severe economic 

hardship as a direct result of the current 

armed conflict and current 

humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. The 

Secretary is taking action to provide 

relief to these Afghan students who are 

in lawful F–1 nonimmigrant students 

status, so the students may request 

employment authorization, work an 

increased number of hours while school 

is in session, and reduce their course 

load while continuing to maintain their 

F–1 nonimmigrant student status. The 

U.S. Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) will deem an F–1 nonimmigrant 

student granted employment 

authorization by means of this notice to 

be engaged in a ‘‘full course of study’’ 

for the duration of the employment 

authorization, if the nonimmigrant 

student satisfies the minimum course 

load requirement described in this 

notice.
