OISS monitors federal immigration changes that may affect the MSU community. OISS will continue to update this page as new information becomes available.
Please note that immigration rules and government procedures can change quickly and their effect may be highly dependent on individual circumstances. The MSU community should always rely on OISS, official government websites and qualified immigration counsel for guidance specific to their situation.
This page is for general information only and is not legal advice. If you have questions about your individual immigration circumstances, please contact OISS.
On July 17, 2026, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security published a rule that will significantly affect how international students and scholars with F and J visas are admitted to and maintain status in the United States.
Non-immigrant statuses covered in this FAQ document include F1 students and their dependents, J1 students and scholars and their dependents, and H1B employees of MSU and their dependents.
