Dies the administration issue visas for Harvard students again?

AIUI Harvard issues the visas.

Is that normal for the states? for institutions to issue visas?

I don't think that's correct. The university confirms that the student is entitled to a visa, and provides the visa to the student after it has been issued, but universities cannot issue the visas independently.

I know this won't be news to anyone here but it is worth repeating how much damage the Republicans are doing to the economic viability of the United States.  Gifted link

In my particular case, the Visa was issued via the US Embassy in Spain (after providing a letter from the uni certifying that I had been accepted, and other myriad paperwork and an interview). What the Uni handled was the paperwork (an USCIS form) that served as proof of enrolment and thus that the visa was valid.

So, going back to the ruling, we'll see if DHS complies and keeps issuing visas to prospective Harvard students.

The Visas are issued by the CIS.  I misspoke.

Yeah, that is the open question.  Also, this is just an interim injunction so we will see if it stands up or the appeal courts, and the USCC rule that this is within the power of the executive.

I think what you had in mind is what normally happened in the before times - up until now governments have not really gotten involved in the issuance of student visas, other than to rubber stamp the admission decision made by the university. 

We are going through a similar, more muted, situation in Canada where the Feds have really clamped down on the number and requirements for student visas.

Senator Warren makes the seat hot for the nominee for head of the IRS:

He simply cannot say that it is illegal for Trump to break the law.

God I'm almost embarrassed to ask...but...how have the watches been going, in screwing those little screws into iPhones grumbler? Be honest.

Have you been getting rations and coffee breaks?

I can make time for piss breaks by substituting duct tape for the little screws. QC doesn't notice.

[Admiral Yi]

and what does that changes?

Before there was not an injunction, now there is.

It increasingly seems visiting the US would be a huge mistake.

I wonder if the US tourism industry is feeling it yet?

weren't reservations way down? By like 15 to 30%?

I will rephrase then.

On the practical side of things, what will that change, in your opinion?
