On September 14, a U.S. federal district court issued a temporary restraining order delaying the implementation of new U.S. visa rules in a lawsuit involving international students and others. The new rules had been scheduled to take effect on September 15.
Under the new rules, the maximum period of stay on an international student visa (F-1 visa) would have been shortened from five years to four years, while the post-graduation stay period would have been changed from 60 days to 30 days. The maximum stay period for journalist visas (I visas) would also have been set at 240 days, or 90 days for Chinese journalists.
For international student visas, stays exceeding four years would not have been permitted even for students who remained enrolled, and extensions of stay would generally not have been allowed.
