The Trump administration is changing rules for international students and exchange visitors, ending the "duration of status" admission period. Starting September 15, most F-1 and J-1 visa holders will be admitted for a fixed period, capped at four years. Extensions beyond this limit will require an application to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. This new four-year cap could significantly impact colleges and universities that depend on international students. The University of Maryland, for instance, anticipates a potential 30% drop in newly admitted graduate students this fall due to this policy. This estimate was revealed in court documents supporting a lawsuit to block the regulation. The University of Maryland and the University of Baltimore are both expecting significant decreases in international enrollment. International students contribute substantial economic benefits, with an estimated $240.4 million to the University of Maryland and its local economy. The University of Maryland, Baltimore, sees around $14 million in economic contributions from international students. It is uncertain if this four-year visa cap will burst America's higher education bubble, but it will likely create difficulties for institutions reliant on foreign students.
