US Visa Policy Tightens on Foreign Scholars, Affecting Over a Million International Students

Published on 6.1.25

  The recent tightening of US visa policies has sent shockwaves through the international student community, with far-reaching implications for those seeking to study in the country. The new regulations require students to be more precise in their intentions and have all necessary documents in order to avoid SEVIS violations. This includes staying enrolled full-time, reporting changes promptly, and only taking part-time work if allowed. The US government has also paused new student visa appointments worldwide to prepare for expanded social media screening of international students' online activity. This move is intended to improve vetting processes, but it has been met with criticism from institutions like Harvard University, which relies heavily on international students for enrollment. Students like Natalia Titevalova from Russia and Abdullah Shahid Sial from Pakistan are concerned about the impact on their future studies due to the new regulations. The US government's decision to block Harvard University from hosting international scholars has further exacerbated tensions, with around one million international students affected by the policy changes.
