Notice that this information has not been updated for new ruling
IMPORTANT NOTICE
On September 14, 2026, a federal judge issueda preliminary injunction to delay the implementation of the D/S final rule. The rule will not be implemented while litigation proceeds. Consequently, current F and J regulations under the “duration of status” framework are still in place and this webpage currently reflects those regulations. Please contact ISSP at globe@wm.edu with any questions. Visit the Immigration Updates webpage for more information about the elimination of D/S final rule.

Once your re-enrollment request is approved by W&M or your graduate department, you must request a new I-20/DS-2019 from the Office of International Students, Scholars & Programs (ISSP):
If your visa is still valid, you may use that to enter the U.S. If it has expired, you must apply for a new F-1 or J-1 visa.
You can enter the U.S. 30 days or less before the program date on your new I-20 or DS-2019.
If you are already in the U.S. in another status, you will most likely need to leave and then return in F-1 or J-1 status. Contact ISSP for more information.
Your OPTand CPT eligibility have reset. You must be in F-1 status for at least 2 additional semesters to be eligible.
