On [28 [Aug 2025, President Donald Trump's administration moved to limit how long foreign students and journalists can stay in the US. Students would be allowed a maximum stay of four years on their visas. Journalists could stay for 240 days, with possible extensions, except Chinese journalists who would get only 90 days. Previously, visas lasted for the duration of study or assignment, up to 10 years. The Department of Homeland Security said some foreigners extended studies indefinitely to stay longer. The change aims to tighten immigration rules but faces criticism from US colleges, which say it may reduce international student numbers and harm research. The rule is open for public comments before it can take effect. (Updated 28 Aug 2025, 12:58 IST; source: link)
