Trump's new rules: How long can foreign students stay in the US?

The Slovenian newspaper Delo reports on new U.S. immigration rules introduced under former President Donald Trump's administration, which aim to limit the duration of stay for international students and journalists. The regulations, set to take effect in September, restrict foreign students with visas to a maximum of four years or the length of their academic program, whereas previously they could remain indefinitely as long as they maintained student status. Journalists will now be allowed to stay for up to eight months, with possible extensions, except for Chinese correspondents who may stay up to 90 days. These changes were proposed by the Department of Homeland Security in August 2023 and were largely adopted without modifications after receiving nearly 22,000 comments during a public review period. Critics, including universities and media organizations, argue that these restrictions will reduce the appeal of American higher education to top international students and negatively impact the U.S. economy, which benefits significantly from international student contributions. The changes face opposition from some foreign governments, such as Japan, which advocated for longer visa
