A proposal contained in the fall agenda of the US government, provides that authorization for international students to stay in the US should be for a specified time period, rather than for the entire duration of their holding a student status.
This may result in students having to file for visa extensions from time to time. The change is proposed to curb overstays in the US by international students.
Advocates for international exchange are worried, however, that the introduction of such a rule could limit flexibility for international students and scholars and undercut efforts by U.S. universities to recruit them.
