Washington, United States: President Donald Trump&#39;s administration moved Thursday to impose stricter limits on how long foreign students and journalists can stay in the United States, the latest bid to tighten legal immigration in the country. Under a change that could be implemented as soon as September, foreigners on student visas would not be allowed to stay for more than four years in the United States. Foreign journalists would be limited to stays of just 240 days, or around eight months, although they could apply to extend by additional 240-day periods, except for Chinese journalists who would get just 90 days.
