The Biden administration is looking toward the middle of May to relax restrictions on travel across the borders with Mexico and Canada and on inbound international travel from the U.K., Europe, and Brazil.
May has been considered the target as it is believed that vaccinations might reach enough of a threshold to restore the travel process by then.
A US senior administration official stressed that “there is going to be a sea change in mid-May when vaccines are more widely available to everyone.”
We sincerely hope that this new move will purvey a positive message to all international students who are eagerly waiting to travel to the US to resume their on-campus classes.
