The US State Department extended the deportation deadline for Pakistani exchange student Shahzaib Bajwa by one month on Friday. The 20-year-old will be allowed to stay in the country until March 28. His brother, Shahzaib Bajwa had said earlier that Shahzaib's health has improved and he showed signs of recovery. He had also stated that the insurance company will pay the medical bills and Shahzaib will be treated in the US.
Shahzaib was spending a semester in an exchange programme at the University of Wisconsin-Superior, studying Anthropology and Sociology. On November 13, 2013, he and his friends were driving back to the university from Minneapolis when their car struck a deer, his brother Shahraiz said.
