Visa Break:

"AT LAST, a piece of good news for foreign students studying in the United States: The State Department has announced that lengthy procedures to obtain security clearances for science and engineering students will become shorter, and the clearances will last longer. According to foreign student organizations, troubles with these clearance procedures were the main cause of unpredictable delays -- sometimes lasting months -- that foreign students encountered while trying to return to this country following trips abroad. In some cases, the requirements forced students to leave in the middle of their courses or prevented professors from returning in the middle of the year."
