US Visa Cancellation: Amid a crackdown on foreign nationals by President Donald Trump’s administration, the United States on Tuesday issued a fresh advisory targeting international students, including those from India. The warning has added to the growing anxiety among thousands of foreign students whose academic and immigration status now hangs in the balance.
According to the latest guidelines, students who will be found skipping classes or leaving their academic programs without officially informing their institutes may face serious consequences, including immediate visa cancellation and disqualification from applying 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. pic.twitter.com/34wJ7nkip0— U.S. Embassy India (@USAndIndia) May 27, 2025
Fresh Threat Amid Deportation Drives
Earlier this month, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) 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 visa cancellation.
Additionally, the US Embassy in India issued a warning for Indian immigrants earlier this month, cautioning them about deportation.
“If you remain in the United States beyond your authorised period of stay, you could be deported and could face a permanent ban on travelling to the United States in the future,” the US Embassy in India tweeted.
What is Harvard University vs Trump Controversy?
Recently, Trump announced to bar Harvard University from enrolling international students. Earlier on May 22, the White House stated, “Enrolling foreign students is a privilege, not a right.”
The Donald Trump administration also accused the Harvard leadership of turning “their once-great institution into a hotbed of anti-American, anti-Semitic, pro-terrorist agitators.”
In a statement to CNN, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said, “They have repeatedly failed to take action to address the widespread problems negatively impacting American students, and now they must face the consequences of their actions.”
Harvard and the Trump administration have been engaged in a conflict for months as the administration demands the university make changes to the programming of the institution, hiring and administration to remove on-campus antisemitism and remove what it termed “racist ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ practices.”
The administration has targeted foreign students and employees, whom it believes were part of the contentious campus protests over the Israel-Hamas war.
