S5 Q&A: Does the new rule affect me now that I’m enrolled?

 Not the Duration of Status rule: a court blocked it before its September 15, 2026 start date, so your status rules haven’t changed. The August 2026 CPT guidance is different: it’s in effect, so your school may review renewals and new CPT requests more closely, but an existing CPT authorization isn’t cancelled automatically. I’ll share our team’s latest dated update, and our senior consultant can look at how it applies to your case.
