Lawsuit Challenges New Visa Restrictions for Foreign Students and Journalists
- A coalition of unions and advocacy groups filed a lawsuit on September 12 to block new visa rules limiting stays for foreign students and journalists.
- The new rules, effective September 15, impose fixed visa durations: foreign students for up to four years and journalists for as little as 90 days.
- The lawsuit claims these changes could deter international students from studying in the U.S. and negatively impact universities and the economy.
