The Trump administration has decided to tighten the duration of visas for students, cultural exchange visitors, and members of the media. A government regulation was proposed on Wednesday (August 27) as part of a broader crackdown on legal immigration.
This will likely create more problems for the international students, exchange workers, and foreign journalists who would have to apply to extend their stay in the US rather than maintain a more flexible legal status.
If passed, the regulation would create a fixed time period for F visas for international students, J visas that allow visitors on cultural exchange programs to work in the US, and I visas for members of the media.
“There were about 1.6 million international students on F visas in the US in 2024, along with roughly 355,000 exchange visitors and 13,000 members of the media,” Reuters reported, citing US government data.
The proposal said that student and exchange visas would be capped at four years. For journalists, the limit would be 240 days - or just 90 days for Chinese nationals - with the option to apply for extension.
