The notice temporarily stops certain employment regulations for eligible F-1 students from Ukraine and Sudan until October 19th, 2023. The exceptions are being applied through something called Special Student Relief, (SSR).
SSR was put in place to aid F-1 students experiencing extreme conflict or natural disasters in their home countries.
