Trump’s New Visa Rule Could Hit 4.2 Lakh Indian Students in the US

The United States is considering a major change to its student visa policy that could impact over 4.2 lakh Indian students. The Department of Homeland Security has proposed fixed periods of stay for foreign students, replacing the current flexible system that allows them to remain as long as they are enrolled. Critics say the move, revived under President Donald Trump, could increase legal risks and hurdles for international students despite a low overstay rate of just 3.6%. The proposal is now under review and could take months to become law.
