The US government has reportedly canceled the 'grace period' for student and academic visas, a policy change that limits the stay of foreign students and academics to the duration of their program. Previously, visa holders could remain in the US for a period after their program ended. The change was reported by Israeli media outlet ynet. The move is part of a broader trend of tightening US immigration policies for foreign students and academics. Earlier this month, The Zioneer reported on the US revoking the permanent residency of a former Kuwaiti student over terror support, reflecting a similar tightening of immigration enforcement.
