Trump administration proposes to limit duration of visas for students, media
NEW YORK/WASHINGTON: (Aug 28) The Trump administration is proposing to limit the duration of visas for foreign students and media personnel in the US, a move aimed at crackdown on illegal immigration and visa abuse.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in a press release on Wednesday said that if finalised, the proposed rule would limit the length of time certain visa holders — including foreign students — are allowed to stay in the United States.
“For too long, past administrations have allowed foreign students and other visa holders to remain in the US virtually indefinitely, posing safety risks, costing untold amounts of taxpayer dollars, and disadvantaging US citizens,” a DHS spokesperson said.
