Among the Visa delays, USA faces a 70-80% drop in the arrival of Indian students, and these countries emerge as better alternatives

Among the strict regulations of the Donald Trump administration on visa, the number of Indian students who went to the United States for higher work experienced a sharp decline this year, which is significantly around 70-80%. This large decrease can be attributed to a freezing in visa appointments and a sudden increase in rejection rates.

Visa rejection

Many Indian students who apply for their visas are still waiting for approval. According to experts, many students begin to leave for us until mid -July. However, there was no update on the US Embassy website, and students are worried about the website for an open home every day. The US Embassy in India said that visa slots could be achieved at the stage. However, the process is confusing for students, as it usually does not receive any approval after making a home reservation.

In addition, this year there was a major increase in the number of visa rejection. Students with strong academic backgrounds, clean social media, documents and finances are also faced with rejection. Without any options, Indian students are now looking for discovering other countries for higher education, including Germany and Canada. Other options are also investigated by students who are afraid of losing an academic year and waiting for visa approval by the US.

US Embassy responds

The US Consulate in Haydarabad said that visa slots are continuing and that he advised students to regularly check the Embassy website to prevent any confusion. “ We are working to ensure that all applicants are fully viewed and appropriate to the visa categories. Students to apply early and wait for extra processing time, ” he said.

Indian students keep us as the first priority to study abroad. In 2024, India passed China to be the best sending to the US to the US with more than 3.3 Indian students. Currently, 11.6 Lakh Indian students are studying abroad according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, Europe has emerged as a popular place among many students in the middle of the ongoing uncertainty.
