S3 Q&A: Does the September 15, 2026 DHS rule create a deadline for my school transfer?

Do not assume that September 15 automatically creates a new transfer deadline. Day1CPT.org reported that a court blocked implementation of the proposed Duration of Status rule on September 14, 2026, leaving the existing framework in place while litigation continues. Your own program, SEVIS, and employment dates may still require action, so have your situation reviewed before making a decision.
