US tightens visa rules for foreign students and journalists

The White House is implementing stricter visa regulations for foreign students, journalists, and exchange program participants, with a particular focus on Chinese journalists. This move aims to combat visa fraud and enhance national security by closing a "duration of status loophole" that previously allowed indefinite stays without regular government oversight. The updated rules will require individuals on F, J, and I visas to adhere to fixed expiration dates rather than remaining for the duration of their program. AI
