Proposed U.S. Student Visa Changes Could Hit Indian Graduates: AI Startup CEO Issues Warning

Proposed changes to U.S. student visa rules could significantly impact international students—especially Indians. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has suggested ending the long-standing “Duration of Status” system for F-1 visas, replacing it with a fixed stay of up to four years. Experts, including Danielle Goldman, warn that this could reduce flexibility for students, affecting key pathways like OPT and CPT. Extensions for study or work may require approval from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, adding new layers of uncertainty. Mint is an Indian financial daily newspaper published by HT Media.
