ⓘ

On July 17, 2026, DHS published a final rule establishing a fixed time period of admission and an extension of stay procedure for J exchange visitors. This rule was expected to be effective on September 15, 2026, but a preliminary injunction issued on September 14 has delayed its implementation. If it comes into effect, it will impact several aspects of the J-visa program regulations. EVS is following this matter closely.

The Fulbright Program is the U.S. government's flagship program of highly competitive, merit-based grants for international educational exchange for students, scholars, teachers, professionals, scientists and artists, founded by U.S. Senator J. William Fulbright in 1946.

The Fulbright grants are awarded to U.S. citizens and nationals of other countries for a variety of educational activities, including university lecturing, conducting advanced research, completing graduate study, and teaching in elementary and secondary schools.
