They're About to Put an Expiration Date on Your F-1 Visa

A major immigration rule change is under final White House review — and it could end a protection that more than one million international students have depended on for nearly 50 years.

The Trump administration's Department of Homeland Security has submitted a proposal to the Office of Management and Budget that would eliminate "Duration of Status" for F-1 visa holders — replacing it with a hard four-year cap. Once that review is complete, the rule could be published and enforced.

In this video, we break down:
→ What Duration of Status actually is — and why it matters
→ What the 4-year cap proposal would change
→ Which students are most affected
→ What the enrollment data is already telling us
→ What happens next — and what you should do right now
