Trump Administration Caps International Students' Stay in the U.S. to Four Years

The Trump administration has finalized a rule limiting international students' stay in the U.S. to four years unless they receive federal approval for an extension. This new regulation, announced by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), also imposes restrictions on changing majors or academic programs. Previously, students could remain in the U.S. for the duration of their academic program.

Hanwha Philly Shipyard has been awarded a $2 billion contract to construct two Missile Range Instrumentation Vessels (MRIVs) for the Pentagon.
