Indian student US F-1 visas drop 62% in 2025 following new Trump administration policies
A recent report indicates that US F-1 visa issuances for Indian students plummeted by 62% during the primary admission period in 2025 compared to the year prior. This decline follows various actions taken by the Donald Trump administration, such as the implementation of more rigorous screening processes. Additionally, the US government halted the scheduling of new student visa interviews for a period of several weeks earlier this year. For context, more than 363,000 Indian students had enrolled during the 2024-25 academic year.
