Covers US work and student statuses — H1B, F1, H4 and OPT — through what new DHS and USCIS rules actually change. Watches effective dates and transition windows more closely than most, since that's where "still valid" turns into "no longer applies." Readers get a sequence of steps rather than headline panic — which filed petition a new rule touches, and which it doesn't. Tracks, for instance, the H1B $100K fee extension through 2027 and who's exempt, or how the proposed end of the 60-day grace period would ripple into H4 status. Also follows the fate of F1 D/S and CPT scrutiny — when a student's status is genuinely at risk and when it's an unconfirmed rumor. Doesn't offer legal advice or file petitions — just explains how the rules work.
