Indian Students in the U.S. Facing New Challenges Amid Visa and Policy Changes

The situation in the United States is changing rapidly, especially for Indian students. Since Donald Trump became President for the second time, immigration policies have become stricter. Tough visa rules, high living costs, and fewer job opportunities are causing major concerns for Indian students.

Some students claim that even minor traffic violations or posting anti-government content on social media are leading to visa cancellations.
One student said, "I live in fear every day. I don’t know what will happen next. Our future feels uncertain."

Another student shared, "My friend lost his visa over a small traffic issue. He had to return to India immediately. It was heartbreaking."

Several U.S. colleges have confirmed an increase in visa-related incidents, especially affecting Indian students. The cost of studying in the U.S. is also rising sharply—tuition fees, housing, and food expenses are becoming unaffordable for many.

On top of that, job prospects after graduation are declining. Stricter visa conditions and companies being hesitant to hire international students are making it harder to find work. Many students are being forced to return to India after completing their studies.

Students are now requesting the Indian government to step in and help resolve these growing challenges.
