Indian students dreaming of studying in the US are facing increasing challenges. With stricter visa rules, limited job opportunities, and soaring expenses, students studying in the US are becoming increasingly anxious. The changes in policies under Trump’s administration and the tightening of regulations are being cited as the primary reasons for the current situation.
Revoking visas for minor violations is becoming a common occurrence. Students are facing serious consequences for even minor offenses like traffic violations or opinions shared on social media. “Our friend lost his visa just because of a traffic violation. He had to go back to India immediately. Now, we live in constant fear,” said one student. Such incidents are reportedly on the rise, according to students.
Studying in the US is already an expensive affair compared to other countries. Tuition fees, hostel& travel expenses, and food costs have all increased. Additionally, with the rising value of the dollar, the financial burden on students’ families has grown significantly.
Moreover, securing a job after graduation has become increasingly difficult. Companies are becoming reluctant to hire foreign nationals. The process for obtaining a work visa has also become more challenging. Many companies have reduced their applications for H-1B visas. As a result, job opportunities for international students have diminished drastically.
In this situation, Indian students are turning to the central government for support. They are urging the government to engage in discussions with the US authorities to secure their future and seek their support. It remains to be seen whether the Indian government will take any steps regarding the plight of Indian students in the US.
