Trump’s travel ban keeps international students from coming to the US for college
Travel restrictions have delayed or canceled thousands of student visas from 19 countries, with over 5,700 visas issued last year, causing significant disruption to education plans.
- President Donald Trump announced a travel ban in June restricting visas for citizens from 19 countries, impacting thousands of international students trying to study in the U.S.
- The ban was implemented due to concerns about a significant number of individuals remaining in the country beyond their visa terms and potential security risks posed by unstable or hostile foreign nations, with the administration intending to maintain it until identified weaknesses in the screening process are resolved.
- Last year, over 5,700 F-1 and J-1 visas for students and researchers from these countries were issued between May and September, yet many now cannot attend due to slowed visa processing and additional vetting.
- The travel ban’s persistence suggests continued obstacles for international students seeking U.S. opportunities, prompting some to defer admission or seek alternatives abroad.
