Trump Administration Slashes Student and Journalist Visa Durations

The Trump administration has finalized a rule that caps student visas at four years and journalist visas at just 240 days. The policy, announced on July 16, 2026, marks a significant tightening of immigration rules affecting international students and foreign media personnel. Critics argue the move could disrupt academic programs and hinder press freedom by limiting the time journalists can cover events in the United States. The rule is expected to face legal challenges from advocacy groups representing higher education and press rights organizations.
