· KRGV (NBC 5)
A new federal rule will limit the duration of F-1 student visas to four years, impacting international students at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV). Anoushka Mitra, a 21-year-old biology major from India, expressed concerns about her future as she plans to graduate in 2028. Under the new regulations, students must complete their studies within the fixed time frame, and changing majors will require reapplying for a visa. Additionally, the grace period after completing a program will be reduced from 60 to 30 days. Students needing more time must apply for extensions through U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
