A U.S. federal judge has issued an order blocking the new D/S rules from going into effect at this time. As a result, the new rules will not take effect today, and the current immigration rules remain in place while the court case continues.

Students should continue to follow the current F-1 or J-1 requirements and guidance provided by the ISSC.

You said you’d do it last week 👀

Don’t wait until the last minute ⏱️ April 15 is the deadline to file your taxes. International students and scholars who were in the U.S. during 2025 are required to file tax forms even without income.

Review available resources, including ASU’s access to Sprintax, to better understand your responsibilities.

Spring 2026 graduation is getting close…and ISSC is saying to apply for Post-OPT right now!

If you’re planning to stay and work in the U.S. after graduation, don’t wait, your Post-OPT window is already wide open.

⏳ After ISSC issues your OPT I-20, USCIS must receive your application within 30 days
📅 You must also apply before your 60-day grace period ends after graduation

The closer you get to graduation, the riskier it becomes to delay — processing times can impact when you’re able to start working.
