Recent directives from the Trump Administration have halted new student visa interviews at U.S. embassies, primarily to facilitate expanded social media screening for applicants. This situation emerged following ongoing tensions in U.S. immigration policy, especially regarding international students. The order’s immediate effect leaves thousands of prospective students in uncertainty as they attempt to navigate the application process, previously evident at institutions like Harvard. Scheduled appointments remain unaffected, but the crackdown reflects broader patterns of federal scrutiny impacting educational access for foreign nationals.
Thousands of international students faced disruptions as the Trump Administration mandated a pause on new visa interviews during increased social media vetting efforts.
This bureaucratic move contributes to the narrowing pathways for higher education for prospective international students who seek opportunities in the U.S.
