Are you studying in the U.S. or planning to apply for a student visa? Immigration Attorney Sonu Lal explains the new policy changes for F-1 and J-1 visas.

Previously, students were admitted for Duration of Status (D/S), meaning they could remain in the U.S. as long as they were pursuing their studies or exchange program. Under the new policy, students will no longer automatically extend their stay just by getting a new I-20.

Now, they must either file for an extension of status or leave the U.S. and reapply for a visa to continue studying.

This is a major change that could impact thousands of international students.
