What is Duration of Status (D/S) ?

D/S means your entry to the U.S. is tied to maintaining status, not one fixed date.

When you enter the U.S. as an F-1 or J-1 student, your Form I-94 should list your Admit Until Date as D/S, which stands for Duration of Status.

Under this current policy, you may remain in the United States as long as you:

• maintain proper enrollment;
• make progress towards your academic program; and
• work only with the proper authorization.

This policy provides students the flexibility needed to successfully navigate their academic journeys.
