The new Duration of Status rule (effective 09/15/2026) may affect the information on this page. ISSS is reviewing the rule and will revise this page and related materials as we finalize new processes. Please review the DHS Final Rule webpage for the latest updates and guidance

International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) at UNC-Chapel is aware of the U.S. Department of State announcement issued on Sept. 6 regarding adjudicating nonimmigrant visa applicants in their country of nationality or residence. Additionally, ISSS has been closely monitoring proposed immigration-related regulations. Most regulations are published in proposed form with a 30- to 60-day public feedback period. Based on public input, various aspects of the proposed rule could be modified during the review and finalization process. The usual rulemaking process takes at least several months. If you have immediate concerns or questions,please contact ISSS directly.
