A Bangladeshi chemistry professor and researcher who has lived in the US for more than three decades and was arrested back in January for overstaying his visa can now remain and work in the US for at least another three years. Syed Jamal’s next court hearing is scheduled for April 2022. At that hearing, Jamal will seek asylum and a ruling on whether his deportation order can be cancelled.
