Hundreds of international students have recently faced **unexpected visa cancellations** in the United States, with Indian, Bangladeshi, Chinese, Nepali, and South Korean students being the most affected. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been monitoring foreign students for the past four months, and concerns have been raised that **Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used in the process, leading to errors that impact innocent students.
According to a report by the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), 327 student visas have been revoked, with 50% of them belonging to Indian students, 14% to Chinese students, and the rest to Bangladeshi, Nepali, and South Korean students. This decision has caused widespread anxiety among Indian students, as it directly affects their education and employment prospects.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has stated that the government is following a “Catch and Cancel” policy, where students’ social media activities are being scrutinized. Those found making anti-Semitic remarks or supporting Palestinian militant group Hamas are reportedly having their visas revoked
Bangladeshi students are also facing uncertainty, as many have invested heavily in their education in the U.S. With their visas revoked, they are now unable to work in the country, significantly impacting their future plans.
Experts advise affected students to seek legal assistance immediately and contact their university’s international student office for guidance. Additionally, students planning to apply for U.S. visas in the future should prepare for stricter application processes.
