I would like to bring an important issue to the attention of my colleagues. INS regulations at 8 CFR sec. 214.2(f)(10) preclude practical training during the first 9months of a fulltime undergraduate students enrollment in a Serviceapproved college or university. In other words. an F1 visa holder lawfully enrolled as an undergraduate student in a college or university with an approved curriculum may not participate in practical training or an internship program without completing 9 full months of classroom time. This restriction applies to undergraduate students but does not apply to graduate students. I might add that there is no legislative history to support such a distinction.
