S2 Q&A Should I enroll before the DHS rule takes effect? Is it in force now?
Current status as our team has it: [POLICY-STATUS - updated (date)]. Two honest points: rules change and get challenged, so we don't build your plan on one; and 'apply sooner rather than later' is the right move under every version of the news - an admission in hand costs nothing and keeps your options open. For how a specific rule would touch your case, the senior consultant is the right conversation. (Re-verify the date before quoting.)
