Washington: The administration of US President Donald Trump has banned American embassies and their commerce departments worldwide make new appointments for students for students, M Visa for professionals and new appointments for interviews for exchanges visitors. According to the report by local newspaper Politico, the step is part of the comprehensive scheme to implement compulsory social media screening for foreign students. The report also cited documents signed by Foreign Minister Marco Rubio.
Government documents clearly stated that no student or exchange visitor should be prescribed for a visa interview as part of the preparation to expand the necessary social media screening with immediate effect. This order will remain effective until any further guidelines on this matter are issued.
Reacting to the student visa issue, the State Department spokesman Tami Bruce said that the government does not publicly comment on personal visa issues or decisions taken in that regard. The intensive investigation process of every person entering the United States is taken seriously and it will be taken seriously in future. Whether you are students, tourists or any category of visa holders, we will check all. This investigation should not be considered controversial as it aims to protect the security and social interests of the US. President Trump and Foreign Minister Rubio intend to ensure that all those coming to the United States follow the law, have no criminal records, and their attitude remained positive while living in the United States.
Recently the Trump administration took strict action against the world famous Harvard University and even tried to snatch its right to give admission to foreign students. The Trump administration believes that Harvard University has become very generous and promotes Jewish. However, a federal court has suspended the decision of the Trump administration. Even after this, the Trump administration, while seeking a list of all foreign students, claimed that these students do not contribute to the US education system and only benefit from it.
The government’s decision to stop the student visa interview appointments has raised concern among the students wishing to come to the United States. The visa process already has to wait long, and now this process will become even more complex and slow due to the investigation of social media accounts. According to experts, if the Trump administration does not stop its anti-student activities, the students will stop coming to America and this will threaten America’s top position in the world in the field of education.
The financial condition of American universities will deteriorate.
Three and a half million Indian students contributed $ 43.8 billion to the US economy
Washington: The Trump administration decision on visa for foreign students may put American universities in serious financial crisis. According to the International Education Institute, more than 1.1 million international students were enrolled in the United States during the 2023–24 academic year. According to a report by the National Association of Foreign Students Advisors, these international students contribute $ 43.8 billion to the US economy. This will create 3.78 lakh jobs. If international students go to study in other countries instead of America, then this income of American universities may stop and their financial condition may deteriorate. Following the recent protests at the American University complexes against the Israeli attack in Gaza, the US government took strict action against the students participating in these protests. The US government has also taken steps to deport several students participating in pro -Palestine demonstrations.
F-1 visa released to Indians last year declined by 38 percent
Washington: According to Ajay Bhutoria, former member of the President’s Advisory Commission on Asian Americans, the government’s decision to verify the social media accounts of the students is worrying. It will have a negative impact on the filing of 2025. The F-1 visa issued to Indians between January and September 2024 decreased by 38 percent. Now, if the admission process is further delayed due to government decisions, students will be forced to postpone their admission and suffer financial losses. Bhutoria said that the Congress should seek clarification for this decision and try to maintain the top position of America in the world of higher education.
Changing weather, rising crisis: heat, drought, fire and flood over the next 5 years
The Trump administration has recently cut the grant to several universities, due to which their budget has come down drastically. To compensate for a decrease in federal research funds, many colleges adopted a strategy to give admission to more international students. The condition of these colleges will be worse now. Since international students pay full fees, their income is a matter of relief for colleges.
