Bluedata International Institute - Learn English in New York City

09/15/2026

Good news for F‑1 students — and a relief for anyone studying English in the U.S.! A federal judge has temporarily blocked the DHS rule that would have put strict time limits on F‑1 stays, including a 24‑month cap on English programs. That means, for now, Duration of Status remains in place, your 60‑day grace period still applies, and current transfer/process rules are unchanged.

Have questions about your I‑20, transferring schools, or how this affects your English program? We’re here to help. As an accredited Times Square school, Bluedata supports international students with comprehensive ESL, TOEFL/IELTS prep, and I‑20 issuance — so you can focus on learning and experiencing American culture.

Mark your calendar — an official SEVP webinar on the new F-1 final rule is happening Monday, August 31, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EDT. This live Adobe Connect session will walk through the fixed period of admission and the extension-of-stay procedure — directly from SEVP. No advance registration required, but space is limited to 1,000 participants, so join early.

As an international student (or someone helping one), this is a rare chance to hear the government’s explanation before the rule begins on September 15.

Reach out — we’re here to help. ◾
