"The Department of Homeland Security has announced a new rule that removes the I-94 duration of status (D/S) for F and J visa holders. This change will impact how international students extend their immigration status in the United States and will add new restrictions on changing academic programs. The rule is not set to take effect until September 15, 2026. There may also be delays in putting the rule into practice because of possible legal challenges and updates needed for SEVIS software." - Final Rule: Establishing a Fixed Time Period of Admission and an Extension of Stay Procedure Quick Facts
