A new report by the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) has raised concerns over the rising number of visa cancellations affecting international students in the United States, with Indian students making up nearly 50% of the cases reported.
As per AILA's April 17 policy brief, a total of 327 cases of cancelled visas or closed SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System) records were gathered through reports submitted by students, attorneys, and university employees. Of these, almost half were Indian nationals, and 14% were Chinese. Other nations impacted are South Korea, Nepal, and Bangladesh.
