Recent events related to Coronavirus (COVID-19) have placed Harvard, and the world, in unchartered territory and as expected have led to a great deal of uncertainty. To help answer your questions, the Harvard International Office (HIO) has compiled a comprehensive FAQ for any visa-related issues connected to COVID-19, including general travel and visa concerns, student issues, work authorization applications, etc.
