Ever since Donald Trump took power for the second time, the rules regarding immigration and visas have been tightened in America. Visas of many students who want to go to America are being canceled, and this has increased both concern and surprise among Indian students.

Last year, more than 3.3 lakh students from India went to America. But now a big drop is being seen in this figure. It is believed that the number of Indian students going to America may see a decline of 70 to 80 percent. The biggest reason for this is the ban on visa appointment slots and visa rejection.

According to the Times of India, Sanjeev Rai of Hyderabad Overseas Consultant said that this is the worst situation in recent years. Students are refreshing the portal every day in the hope of a slot opening up. Usually by this time, students are preparing for departure after completing the visa interview.
