US to resume processing Harvard visas


NEW YORK: The US State Department on Friday (June 6) night instructed consulates worldwide to resume processing visa applications for international students admitted to Harvard University, reversing guidance issued a day earlier ordering such requests to be rejected, according to Xinhua, citing The Washington Post report.

The report, citing a cable sent by the department, said the new directive rescinded one issued on Thursday, less than an hour before a judge blocked the Trump administration from restricting international students from entering the country to attend Harvard.
