Full timeline
Year | Month and date (if available) | Event type | Affected agencies (past, and present equivalents) | Details |
---|---|---|---|---|
1855 | The Carriage of Passengers Act of 1855 recognizes students as a category of temporary immigrant.[1] | |||
1882 | The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 significantly restricts the immigration of Chinese sklled and unskilled laborers, but carves out an exception for students.[1] | |||
1913 | The U.S. Bureau of Education records indicate that 4,222 international students were enrolled in 275 U.S. universities, colleges, and technical schools; most of them were sent by foreign governments for education and training that would be useful when the students returned home.[1] | |||
1918 | All noncitizens are required to obtain visas prior to entry to the United States.[2] | |||
1919 | The Institute of International Education is formed to protect and promote the interests of international students and exchange visitors.[1] | |||
1921 | Lobbying by the IIE to the classification of students as nonimmigrants and the creation of a separate nonimmigrant visa for students, thereby exempting students from the numerical quotas placed in the Emergency Quota Act of 1921 and the Immigration Act of 1924.[1][3] | |||
1924 | The United States Congress requires consular officers to make a determination of admissibility prior to issuing a visa.[2] | |||
