US EditionTrump administration moves to tighten duration of visas for students and media
- On Wednesday, the Trump administration proposed a new regulation aimed at restricting the length of stay in the U.S. for international students, exchange program participants, and media professionals.
- This measure revisits a plan first floated in 2020 and aims to address a dramatic rise in visa numbers by imposing fixed terms of up to four years.
- The proposal requires visa holders to apply for extensions or status changes and would introduce new hurdles for approximately 1.6 million international students and hundreds of thousands of exchange visitors and journalists.
- Miriam Feldblum warned that if implemented, the rule could lead to confusion, interfere with university governance, add administrative burdens, and potentially discourage international students from coming to the U.S.
- The proposal, part of a broader immigration crackdown since January, has faced opposition including from NAFSA and was previously scrapped by the Biden administration in 2021, but the public now has 30 days to comment.
