Getting a visa to America means a special opportunity, not the right to stay in that country. The US Embassy once again warned Indian students going to study in that country that they can be sent back to their country at any time if they break the rules. The warning has been issued once again through a post on X handle.
Due to the recent strictness regarding American visas, interviews for Indians wanting to go to that country have been postponed for a long time. As a result, many are suffering from the fear of losing job opportunities and chances to study in America. Amid this, the US Embassy has specifically warned students who have already received American visas and are going to study in that country.

In their X handle post, they wrote, "Breaking U.S. laws can have serious consequences for your student visa. If you are arrested or violate any laws, your visa may be revoked, you may be deported,..." Along with this, it has also been clarified by the embassy that the opportunity to get American visas in the future will be permanently lost.
The embassy reiterated that a US visa is a privilege, not a right. Since returning to the White House for a second term, US President Donald Trump has introduced multiple changes to visa policies. These include mandatory verification of applicants’ social media activity, changes in visa fees, and revisions to the duration of stay permitted for foreign students.
These policy changes have raised concerns that Indian students aspiring to pursue higher education in the United States may be significantly affected.
