Several prominent US universities, including Harvard, Columbia, Ohio State University, Georgetown, George Washington, and the University of Chicago, have urged international students to return to the United States before September 15 to avoid potential disruptions to their immigration status under new federal immigration rules. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) rule, set to take effect on the specified date, replaces the longstanding "duration of status" system with fixed periods of admission for many international students and exchange visitors.

This change could significantly impact students enrolled in programmes that typically exceed the four-year maximum initial admission period, such as doctoral, medical, and other professional programmes. Universities have advised students to adjust their travel plans, check their records, and seek extensions through US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) if needed, emphasizing the importance of maintaining their F-1 or J-1 status to avoid being admitted under the new fixed-period system.
