A major immigration rule change has been put on hold. This decision comes after advocacy groups filed a lawsuit. The rule, set to take effect recently, would have altered the duration of stays for certain international students and exchange visitors in the US.

Details about the rule's potential impact are available. It is known that the change could have affected thousands of students. The Department of Homeland Security has not commented on the matter.

The fate of the rule remains uncertain, as it is unclear if an appeal will be filed. Further information can be found through additional sources.
