Navigating the New F-1 Visa Rules
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has finalized a major update to foreign student visa regulations. Replacing the long-standing “Duration of Status” framework—the system that has governed F-1 students for roughly four decades—the federal government is moving F-1 students to a fixed period of admission beginning September 15, 2026. At Fairfax Christian School, we are committed to helping our international families stay fully compliant so our students can focus on their academics. Click here for a clear breakdown of how the new rule affects middle and high school F-1 students.
