  IMMIGRATION UPDATE: Federal Court Temporarily Blocks “Duration of Status” Rule
A U.S. federal court has issued a nationwide preliminary injunction to temporarily block the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from implementing changes to the “Duration of Status” (D/S) regulations. The rule which proposed shifting F-1 international students and J-1 exchange visitors to a fixed period of stay was scheduled to take effect on September 15, 2026. Due to the court order, its implementation is now paused indefinitely while legal proceedings continue.

Important Reminder: This is a temporary injunction, not a permanent repeal. The litigation is ongoing, and the government may appeal the decision. Warriors should continue to maintain their legal status and monitor official communications from your campus Designated School Official (DSO).
