U.S. court blocks fixed-admission rule for students and journalists
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction on September 14 blocking a DHS rule that was due to impose fixed admission periods on F, J and I visa holders the next day. Duration-of-status admission remains in place while the case proceeds.
Why it matters
Students, exchange visitors and foreign journalists do not need to comply with the blocked rule for now, but the litigation continues. They should still verify each I-94 and follow current court, DHS and institutional guidance.
