A major change has taken effect for international students. Beginning September 15, many F-1 students, J-1 exchange visitors, and I visa foreign media representatives are no longer admitted for duration of status. Instead, your I-94 expiration date now determines how long you may remain in the United States. If you need additional time, you may have to file an extension with USCIS before your I-94 expires. Your school's extension of your I-20 or DS-2019 alone may no longer be enough to maintain lawful status. The new rules also affect grace periods, school transfers, and certain program changes. If you're studying in the United States, check your I-94, review your program end date, and understand how these changes may affect your immigration status before making travel or academic decisions.
