Transferring to a new language school while holding an F1 student visa can be an important step in your educational journey.

That is when a new DHS rule replaces "duration of status" for F-1 students with a fixed period of admission — and it changes what a change of status approval actually gives you. Why the timing matters A change of status approval is itself an admission decision.
