Quotes and Excerpts from Rajiv in the article:

Rajiv S. Khanna, Managing Attorney at Immigration.Com, told LiveMint that these systemic shifts have been “brewing for quite some time.” The most significant change targets the “duration of status” provision.

“In that rule, the idea of duration of status... was truncated,” Khanna explained. “Now they were proposing that if you wanted to do multiple degrees, you have to touch base back with the government rather than just staying within the school system.”

Who will feel the impact?

While the proposed changes sound daunting, Khanna offered a measured perspective. “I suspect that a majority of students who are serious about education and academics would find little change,” he stated.
