Trump slashes foreign student visa limits to 4 years
Trump Slashes Foreign Student Visa Limits to 4 Years: The Trump administration has announced a major proposed change to U.S. immigration policy that would place fixed time limits on visas for international students, exchange visitors, and foreign journalists. If implemented, the new Department of Homeland Security rule would replace the current "duration of status" system with set expiration periods, marking one of the biggest changes to student visa policy in years. Under the proposal, F and J visa holders would generally be limited to four years, while I visas for foreign journalists would be capped at 240 days, with a 90-day limit for journalists traveling from China. Visa holders would still be able to apply for extensions. The rule is scheduled to take effect 60 days after publication in the Federal Register, pending congressional review. The announcement follows several immigration policy changes introduced during President Donald Trump's current term. DHS says the proposal responds to a significant increase in visa admissions, while higher education organizations argue that existing monitoring systems already provide strong oversight of international students and exchange visitors. The proposal has sparked debate over its potential impact on U.S. universities, international education, research, journalism, and the broader economy.
