The Trump administration is imposing new restrictions on student and exchange visas by replacing the current open-ended stay policy with a four-year limit for most new F and J visa holders, Bloomberg reports. Under the new DHS rule, many international students and exchange visitors will have to apply for federal approval to remain in the U.S. beyond four years. Officials say the change is aimed at strengthening immigration oversight, while critics warn it could discourage international students from choosing U.S. universities.
