US Halts Student Visa Interviews Amid Plans to Vet Online Profiles
Hindustan Times Noida
|May 28, 2025
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered embassies worldwide to stop scheduling new interviews for student-visa applicants as the Trump administration weighs stricter vetting of social-media profiles.
WASHINGTON:
The directive, laid out in a cable sent to diplomats worldwide on Tuesday, marks the latest effort by the administration to restrict foreign students' entry to American schools over claims they have contributed to an atmosphere that promotes antisemitism.
"Effective immediately, in preparation for an expansion of required social media screening and vetting, consular sections should not add any additional student or exchange visitor (F, M and J) visa appointment capacity until further guidance is issued," Rubio wrote. He said that guidance is expected in the coming days.
