The Trump administration is moving to implement significant changes to the student and media visa processes in the United States. Proposed measures include instituting a four-year cap on the duration of stay for foreign students holding F-1 and J-1 visas and introducing fixed terms for foreign media under the I visa classification. The goal of these regulations is to tackle visa abuse and enhance national security. The administration has expressed concerns over potential misuse of student visas and has emphasized the need for a structured timeline for foreign students and journalists. Critics, including a Chinese envoy, have warned against fostering an atmosphere of fear and hostility in response to these proposed changes.
