"The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is ending the longstanding “duration of status” system for F-1 students and replacing it with a fixed period of admission.
Under the new rule, F-1 students will generally be admitted for the length of the academic programme listed on their Form I-20, up to four years, with a 30-day period to arrive before the programme begins and 30 days to prepare for departure after the programme or authorised post-completion training ends."
