At a time when fate of many foreign students hangs in balance due to Trump administration’s intensified crackdown on foreign nationals, the United States on Tuesday issue another warning for international students, including from India.
According to US Embassy in India, those students who will be found skipping their classes or leaving their program without informing their institute may have to face the risk of cancellation of their visa or may not be able to apply for any future US visa.
“If you drop out, skip classes, or leave your program of study without informing your school, your student visa may be revoked, and you may lose eligibility for future U.S. visas. Always adhere to the terms of your visa and maintain your student status to avoid any issues," read the US Embassy in India’s official statement.
Fresh warning for students comes after the US carried out a major deportation drive earlier this year.
Fresh Threat Amid Deportation Drives
Previously this month, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had threatened international students on Optional Practical Training (OPT) visas in the US, mentioning that if they fail to report their employment within 90 days of starting their OPT, their legal status in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) would be revoked.
Amid the mass deportation drive ordered by US President Donald Trump, several institutes in the country also warned foreign students against travelling outside of the US in order to eliminate the risk of their visa cancellation.
Additionally, the US Embassy in India had also issued a warning for Indian immigrants earlier this month and warned them of deportation.
“If you remain in the United States beyond your authorized period of stay, you could be deported and could face a permanent ban on traveling to the United States in the future," US Embassy in India had tweeted.
