On July 17, 2026, DHS published a final rule establishing a fixed time period of admission and an extension of stay procedure for F nonimmigrant academic students. This rule is expected to be effective on September 15, 2026, and will impact several aspects of the F-visa program regulations. Accordingly, updates to our website content are in progress.

Whenever encountering any problems or concerns regarding the immigration status or exploring the possibility of changing visa status to the F or J category, please consult one of our international student advisors for guidance. Also consult an ISA whenever there is a change in enrollment status, and whenever there is potential employment offer.  These topics are extremely important for maintaining valid immigration status in the U.S. and we strongly urge the student or scholar to seek advice first to avoid any potential visa status problems.
