This ends the “duration of status” system, forcing fixed-term visas despite possible extensions. Officials claim it’s for better vetting, but press freedom groups warn it will cripple reporting, especially from China, and could fuel self-censorship. With visas now limited to eight months (down from five years), international media faces mounting hurdles — even as the government insists this policy won’t affect non-immigrant journalists. The rule takes effect in 60 days, and while Congress could block it, that’s nearly impossible. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
