White House clears new rule limiting status of foreign students in the US that several medical organisations and college groups have opposed

The White House has greenlit a new rule from the Department of Homeland Security that will end the open-ended stay for foreign students, exchange visitors, and media representatives. Instead, these individuals will now receive a fixed four-year admission period, requiring them to renew their status. This change aims to reduce overstays and enhance national security, though critics warn of administrative burdens.
