US to limit period of stay for foreign students to 30 days after graduation

Trump administration to cap foreign student stay in US at four years under new visa rulesThe Trump administration has confirmed sweeping changes to its student visa policy, introducing a four-year limit on how long most international students can remain in the United States unless they receive special approval to extend their stay.

The Trump administration will introduce new visa rules in September limiting most international students to a maximum stay of four years in the US, unless they receive federal approval for an extension.

While US officials say the changes will curb visa abuse and strengthen national security, education groups have criticised the policy as unnecessary and warned it will create uncertainty for international students.
