US EditionAMA to Advocate for IMGs in Visa Limbo Due to Trump Policies
- On June 5, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order prohibiting individuals from several countries—including Afghanistan, Cuba, Haiti, Iran, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela—from studying in the United States.
- This ban follows prior aggressive policies since January 2021 that restricted legal status for international students and barred nationals from 12 countries, with additional visa limits on seven more.
- Approximately 25,000 students from the banned countries studied in the U.S. as of March 2024, while Chinese international scholars numbered over 255,000, and California hosted the largest state share with 140,800 students.
- In 2024, the United States welcomed 1.1 million international students, representing 16% of the world's total, and these students generated $43.8 billion in economic impact during the 2023–24 academic year.
- These restrictions have prompted universities like the University of Pennsylvania to explore remote study options, while broader impacts on enrollment and funding suggest ongoing challenges for U.S. higher education.
