US Advises F-1, J-1 Visa Students to Return Before September 15 Deadline

The US Department of Homeland Security has announced a rule change affecting international students on F-1 and J-1 visas. Students already present in the United States under Duration of Status before September 15 will be permitted to stay until their programme completion date as listed on Form I-20. Those on approved Optional Practical Training will also be allowed to remain until the end of their authorised OPT period. The change signals a shift in how student visa durations are tracked and enforced going forward. International students are being advised to plan their travel and status accordingly to avoid any compliance issues.
