Notes
Not COVID-predicated in its recitals, but issued in the pandemic period and listed by the assignment; catalogued as an entry limitation in force in every claim quarter from 2020 Q2 onward. Drafters should plead it as a fact and circumstance of the international-student market alongside the SEVP instruments (Ex. 070-073), not as a COVID-19 order.
Retrieval notesha256 verified below in the file table; the recitals do not cite COVID-19 as the predicate.
