Join the NAFSA community for a discussion, led by NAFSA staff, of the final rule to eliminate “D/S” (duration of status) for F and J nonimmigrants. We’ll compare the final rule to the proposed rule, highlight key provisions of the final rule, and discuss how they might impact F and J programs. We’ll offer initial ideas about how advisors, international offices, and institutions might begin adapting and encourage the NAFSA community to continue this important discussion. We’ll briefly mention possible litigation and any related news. As always, we also want to hear from you and particularly about how you’re preparing for implementation of the rule.
