IMPORTANT F-1 IMMIGRATION UPDATE
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has issued a final rule that will change how F-1 students are admitted to the United States, including changes to the current Duration of Status (D/S) framework. The rule is scheduled to take effect September 15, 2026.
The changes may affect F-1 students differently depending on their individual circumstances, including travel, program changes, transfers, and program completion.
OISP is reviewing the new requirements and will provide additional guidance as implementation information becomes available.
Students with questions about their individual circumstances should contact OISP to schedule an appointment with a DSO.
Maintaining F-1 Status
The Department of State issued you an F-1 visa so that you can come to the United States to study. It is a non-immigrant visa that allows you to pursue education with the intent of returning to your home country after your studies. You should not take any action that detracts from that purpose.
