- Trump’s latest visa move puts an expiration date on studying in the US
The Trump administration introduced a rule capping initial F-1 student visa admissions at four years, requiring students to apply to DHS or re-enter the US to extend their stay. The policy also restricts starting new programs at the same or lower academic level after completing a degree and reduces the post-program departure window from 60 to 30 days.
