In September, the US government will replace the current Duration of Status system (enabling international students to stay in the US for as long as needed to complete their programme), with a fixed admission period.

The new rules allow degree students four years and language students 24 months to stay in the US. To stay longer, they must apply to US immigration officials for an extension.

This new step will create significant uncertainty for students who may need an extension to complete their programme as well as of those who wish to transition to Optional Practical Training (OPT), which takes place post graduation.

Commenting on this change, NAFSA Executive Director and CEO Dr Fanta Aw stated:

“The Department of Homeland Security’s decision to end Duration of Status is a misguided and unnecessary policy shift that injects uncertainty, bureaucracy, and fear into a system that has long worked effectively.”

On March 1, 2026, the Australian government unexpectedly raised the application fee for its post-study work visa.

This is the third such raise over the course of a year, bringing the cost of application to AUD$4,600.

To place this in context, the fee is now 10x that of Canada, 3x that of New Zealand, and 2x that of the UK. Additionally, Australia's study visa, at AUD$2,000, is also the costliest such visa.

The sector, while supportive of measures designed to ensure integrity in recruitment, has raised concerns that the move will send the wrong signal to prospective students.
