Federal immigration authorities proposed a rule capping allowable stays for foreign-born reporters, academics, students, physicians, and other exchange visitors. International students and exchange visitors would be limited to four-year visas instead of duration-of-status tied to enrollment. The rule would bar graduate students from changing their educational objectives. Media representatives would face time limits of up to 90 days for Chinese nationals and up to 240 days for other nationalities. The proposal includes vetting immigrants for alleged involvement in "anti-American activity." Advocates warn the changes could produce administrative delays, unlawful presence, and increased vulnerability to punitive actions. Public comments are due by September 29, 2025.
