State Department rules effective 1 January 2026 suspend all visa categories for certain nationalities and B/F/M/J categories for others. The rule concerns people outside the U.S. without a valid visa on that date, subject to exceptions including qualifying dual nationals and permanent residents. Previously valid visas were not revoked by this proclamation. Check the official rule and the host’s visa office for individual circumstances; host sponsorship cannot override immigration restrictions. ## Verification notes and limits TLS verification remained enabled; no insecure TLS bypass was used. Rechecked 2026-10-24T22:46:00Z; evidence: live-official. SAM public login route was reached but no account/application opened. Main RFA measures three-year PhD window before deadline; FAQ says before submission, so edge cases should confirm. Same programme counted once across both interdisciplinary tracks. U.S. programme nationality eligibility is not visa permission; see the accompanying PP10998 advisory and verify the applicant’s citizenship, passport, valid visa and exception status.
