Foreigners now cannot apply for a student visa to America - the presidential administration has suspended this process. The new order came in the midst of the admission campaign of American universities, so representatives of US schools, colleges and universities are indignant (this is to put it mildly). There is a risk that due to an unscheduled pause, American universities will lose a large percentage of foreign students, that is, the lion's share of their income.
Since Donald Trump took office as President of the United States, the country's government has been saying that it is time to change migration policy. In particular, the process of checking potential American residents who come from other countries to study: the Trump administration wants to officially include in this algorithm the verification of the applicant's pages on social networks and make it mandatory for everyone, and not recommended, as it is now. Officials assure that this measure will help in the fight against terrorism and anti-Semitism.
Interviews with foreigners, which were scheduled before May 28, have not been canceled, but it is impossible to set a new date today. Visa and education centers are waiting for further news from the presidential administration.
