DHS just slammed the door on indefinite stays for international students—starting Sept 15, F-1 and J-1 visa holders will max out at four years, no matter how long their studies take.

New rules mean USCIS background checks and fraud screenings for extensions—big changes from the old system. Local nonprofits are stepping in to guide students through the chaos, while UW plans to alert impacted students and staff.
