Asian students can
work longer in US

By Sam Zeng
ACCORDING  to  guidelines  announced  by  the  US
Department of Justice, some  Asian  students  in
America can work more and study less.
   The decision was made by  Secretary  of  State
Albright to lighten the heavy burden imposed  on
students and their  parents  due  to  the  Asian
currency turmoil.
   The new guidelines state  that  students  from
Indonesia, Malaysia,   the  Philippines,   South
Korea  and  Thailand  can  work  more  than  the
previous limit of twenty hours.
   The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS)
announced that they will renew  the  students 
visas even if  they  have  not  completed  their
courses, so long as they are still registered at
their schools.
   The INS estimated that the new rule will  suit
the approximately 80000 students from Asia.
   Southeast Asian  currencies  devalued  sharply
against the US dollar, causing economic hardship
for students from this region.
   Those  who  think  they  qualify  for  special
assistance should tell their schools  that  they
come from one of the five  countries  and    are
having economic difficulties so they  would like
to work longer hours to earn more money.
