This joint resolution would nullify a rule published by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement titled "Establishing a Fixed Time Period of Admission and an Extension of Stay Procedure for Nonimmigrant Academic Students, Exchange Visitors, and Representatives of Foreign Information Media" (91 Fed. Reg. 44976, July 17, 2026). The resolution, using the disapproval process in chapter 8 of title 5, declares that the rule "shall have no force or effect." It was introduced in the House on September 14, 2026, and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
If Congress passes this resolution and it becomes law, the ICE rule described above would be canceled and would not take effect. The rule itself concerns fixed admission time periods and an extension-of-stay process for certain nonimmigrant academic students, exchange visitors, and foreign media representatives. If the resolution does not pass, the rule would remain in effect unless changed or blocked by other action.
