US Judge Blocks Trump Limits on How Long Foreign Students, Journalists Can Stay
- On Monday, U.S. District Judge F. Dennis Saylor in Boston issued a preliminary injunction blocking the Trump administration's new rule restricting stay durations for foreign students and journalists without visa extensions.
- The Department of Homeland Security had planned to replace the long-standing "Duration of Status" system with fixed admission periods on September 15, citing what it called "visa abuse" by nonimmigrants.
- Saylor ruled the Department adopted the policy based on "exceptionally weak" rationales without adhering to the Administrative Procedure Act, protecting over 13,000 South Koreans from immediate eligibility changes.
- While the rule remains blocked, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is proceeding with mandatory updates to Form I-539 and Form I-765 today, September 15, requiring new editions immediately.
- Separately, applicants should monitor the October Visa Bulletin as the transition to fiscal year 2027 on October 1 could alter visa availability and priority-date movement for Indian applicants.
