The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has published a proposed rule that appears to end the government’s deference to prior petition approvals and would replace “Duration of Status” with fixed periods of admission for F-1 students, J-1 exchange visitors, I visa holders and their dependents.

If finalized, this rule would significantly change how compliance is managed for schools, employers and international employees. Employers, universities and others have the opportunity to shape what the final rule may be by commenting on the proposed rule through the legally-mandated “notice and comment” process.

Join us for a timely webcast as we break down what this proposal means, and the steps institutions and employers should consider now.

Topics will include:

  • Key facets of the DHS proposed rule
  • How proposed changes would impact universities, employers and talent pipelines
  • Quantitative impact of the proposed deference change
  • Engagement considerations for advocacy and comments to shape rulemaking

Who Should Attend

  • University administrators, international student advisors and compliance officers
  • Interested government affairs professionals
  • In-house legal teams at companies employing F-1 or J-1 visa holders

Why Attend

This is your opportunity to understand the proposal in depth and learn how to take action during the comment period. Stakeholder input will directly shape how DHS considers and finalizes the rule.
