The Department of Homeland Security has finalized a new rule under the Trump Administration that limits the duration of F, J, and I visas for international students, exchange visitors, and journalists. The rule, set to go into effect 60 days after publication, caps most F and J visas at four years and I visas at 240 days, with Chinese nationals limited to 90 days, aiming to prevent indefinite stays and enhance vetting.
