Any international first-year student thinking of a deferral to January/Fall 2021?

Title says it all. I’m an international student and in a dilemma right now because Smith says that it won’t remove the normal deadline to send deferral request which is June 1, and I’m not sure whether I should defer or not.

If I choose to defer the only reason would be that I can’t obtain my visa in time. And the US embassy is suspending all visa services all over the world so by June 1 how can I know when it will reopen so that I can get the F-1 visa in time?

Does any international here thinking of a deferral because of the same reason, or are you still waiting even when it gets past the deferral deadline? Is it possible to send a deferral request after June 1 given all these current uncertainties about getting a visa?
