No more D/S: what the fixed admission period means for F-1 boarding school students

Since September 15, 2026, new F-1 students are no longer admitted for "duration of status" (D/S) but until a fixed date: the program end date on the Form I-20, capped at 4 years, plus 30 days to depart. A boarding school student who needs more time must apply to USCIS for an extension of stay (Form I-539) or leave and be readmitted. Students already here on D/S keep their I-20 program end date, up to a limit of November 14, 2030.

How to check whether a U.S. boarding school can issue an I-20

A U.S. private school can enroll an F-1 student only if it is certified by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) — that certification is what lets the school issue the Form I-20. You can check any school yourself on the official SEVP list at Study in the States; on USAnaru™, every boarding school page shows whether we matched it to that list and when the list was dated.
