Guidance: Visa Revocation Emails

March 31, 2025

Members of our international community may be aware of news reports of international students at colleges and universities around the U.S. receiving emails that their visas have been revoked.

Please know that we are actively monitoring the situation. If you receive an email or phone call saying your visa has been revoked, please forward immediately to International Services at international@cornell.edu. For Cornell Tech students, please forward to studentaffairs@tech.cornell.edu.

We urge all international students to forward any communication you receive from the State Department, ICE, or anyone saying they represent the government. Remain on guard against scammers who may try to take advantage of this time of heightened awareness to demand money or personal information. Find out how you can protect yourself.

We encourage you to regularly check the International Services website for alerts. The informative March 24 “Know Your Rights” webinar and slides can be found on the Executive Orders site.
