The new rule imposes new caps on the lengths of F visas, for international college and university students; J visas, for those in the country through educational and cultural exchange programs, which can include students, but also researchers, teachers, or interns, among other designations; and I visas, for journalists. 

“This final rule ensures that foreign students remain focused on their primary purpose: completing their studies and returning home,” Mullin said. 

The move is the latest in the Trump Administration’s efforts to limit the number of foreign nationals in the country, which have also previously seen the Administration take steps to restrict refugee admissions, pause visas from specific countries, charge companies for H-1B visas, and end temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of migrants, among a slew of other actions.  

If a student needs additional time to complete an academic program, they must apply for an extension on their visa through U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

For thousands of graduates, OPT has served as a crucial period during which they find employment, which in turn opens the door for them to qualify for the longer-term H-1B visa. 

The duration of I visas, for members of the media, will be capped at 240 days by the new rule, and 90 days for Chinese nationals. Under current rules, journalists’ visas can last years.
