Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Administration Tightens Visa Rules for International Students
Caption: Trump Administration Tightens Visa Rules for International Students. The Trump administration has finalized stricter visa rules affecting international students studying at American colleges and universities. Starting in September, most foreign students will only be allowed to remain in the United States for four years. Students needing additional time must seek federal approval instead of receiving extensions directly from their educational institutions. The new policy also restricts transfers between schools and limits students' ability to switch academic programmes. Graduates will have just thirty days to leave the country or secure another visa, down from sixty. Homeland Security says the changes will curb visa abuse and strengthen national security through more frequent government reviews. Education groups strongly criticized the policy, warning it creates uncertainty for students, researchers, and universities across America. The measures are part of the administration's broader effort to reduce immigration and tighten oversight of foreign students.
