US Student Visa: The administration’s strictness on foreign students in America is increasing. The Trump administration has decided to make the visa period for foreign students and exchange visitors maximum four years.
The Trump administration says that the purpose of fixing the maximum duration of the visa period is to prevent visa abuse. After the implementation of the proposed new rule, the duration of stay in America of foreign students as well as professors, doctors and other visa holders will be limited. Till now, students can stay in America indefinitely on Duration of Status. This rule has been in force since the year 1978.
The Department of Homeland Security will publish the proposed new rules regarding visas on Thursday. Let us tell you that since 1978, students on F visas have been allowed to stay in the US indefinitely. This means that they can stay in the US as long as there is full-time enrollment in an educational program.
Taxpayers money was being wasted
A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said that for too long, the previous administration has allowed foreign students and other visa holders to stay in the US almost indefinitely, creating a security risk, a huge waste of taxpayer money and harm to American citizens.
Opposition to proposed visa rules
If this rule is finalized, students will have to undergo periodic review by DHS to extend their stay. However, education advocates have warned that this proposal could create new obstacles for international students. Miriam Feldblum, President and CEO of the President’s Alliance, said that international students deserve assurances that their admission period in the US will be consistent with the requirements of their academic programs. The President’s Alliance represents the leaders of more than 500 colleges and universities. She said that international students are already the most monitored population in the US. They remain under strict supervision of DHS and educational institutions.
