Major changes are coming for F-1 students. 🇺🇸🎓

Beginning September 15, 2026, the long-standing “Duration of Status” (D/S) framework is changing, making it more important than ever for F-1 students to understand their I-94 admission period, OPT/STEM OPT timelines, travel plans, and H-1B cap-gap eligibility.

For students already in the U.S., transition rules may apply. For those pursuing H-1B status, the cap-gap bridge remains available for qualifying cases. Because individual circumstances and deadlines can differ, careful planning is essential.

📌 Know your dates.
📌 Monitor your I-94 and immigration documents.
📌 Plan OPT/STEM OPT and H-1B filings carefully.
📌 Consider the immigration consequences before international travel.

Have questions about how these changes may affect your status or immigration plans?

🚨 Major H-1B Fee Proposal

DHS has proposed a new $103,265 additional fee for H-1B cap-subject petitions, including petitions eligible for the U.S. advanced-degree exemption.

If finalized as proposed, the fee would be paid at the time of filing and in addition to other applicable fees or payments. Certain cap-exempt H-1B petitions would not be subject to the proposed fee.

⚠️ Important: This is a proposed rule — it is NOT currently in effect.

Employers and H-1B professionals should stay informed as the proposal moves through the rulemaking process and consider how a significant potential filing cost could affect future workforce and immigration planning.

🚨 IMMIGRATION UPDATE: B-1/B-2 VISA HOLDERS

Recent reports indicate that the U.S. government is considering a significant visa revocation initiative that could affect up to 200,000 B-1/B-2 visa holders, particularly individuals who entered the United States as temporary visitors and later applied for or are seeking asylum.

⚠️ Important: A visa revocation does not automatically mean immediate deportation. The potential impact can depend on your current immigration status, pending applications, and individual circumstances.

If you:
• Entered the U.S. on a B-1 or B-2 visa
• Have a pending asylum application
• Are unsure how these reported developments could affect your status

It may be important to understand your options before taking your next step.

🚨 Immigration Policy Update 🚨

There’s been growing concern around the latest I-485 Adjustment of Status guidance — but it’s important to understand the facts before panicking.

If you are an H1B holder maintaining valid status, keeping your records updated, and following immigration requirements, this policy generally does NOT target you. ✅

Here’s what you should focus on:
• Maintain lawful immigration status
• Keep all employment and travel documents current
• Avoid relying on misinformation online
• Speak with a qualified immigration attorney before making major decisions

At Rathee Law Firm, we are dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate U.S. immigration changes with clarity and confidence. 🇺🇸
