F-1 Visa Changes On The Horizon & H-1b Cap Season Insights

In this session, we covered key developments impacting international students and beneficiaries of H-1B cap petitions this H-1B cap season. A newly proposed DHS rule could significantly change how F-1 student status is managed in the U.S., potentially replacing the current “duration of status” framework with fixed periods of stay. While still in the proposal stage, this has already raised important questions across the immigration landscape. Partner and Attorney Min Kim and Client Services Manager Arianna Gonzalez discussed what this proposal could mean and shared practical guidance for navigating the H-1B cap process for H-1B beneficiaries and their employers. Gain clarity on emerging policy changes and actionable insights you can use now.
