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.
