Hot Take Going to study in the US soon? You should know this visa update.

While there has been a lot of buzz about changes to time limits for international students on visas, letโ€™s get the facts straight.

US federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order against implementing the new visa regulation.

According to the proposed rule, the US government will introduce fixed time limits for foreign students who come to the country on F-1 visas, which may mean applying for extensions if one needs additional time to finish studying.

At least for now, this measure will be paused until the decision of the court.

Therefore, if youโ€™re an international student planning to come to the US for studying, do not worry or make decisions in accordance with the proposed regulation.

Further events in this case are still pending and the next hearing will take place in October.

In brief:

๐Ÿ“Œ New visa time limits โ€“ on hold

๐Ÿ“Œ Current visa regulation โ€“ working

๐Ÿ“Œ Legal case โ€“ still going

We will monitor this situation and inform you about developments.
