Trump's Travel Ban Keeps International Students From Coming to the US for College
The travel ban restricts students from 19 countries, delaying thousands' US college plans despite over 5,700 visas issued last year, officials said.
- President Donald Trump announced a travel ban in June restricting visas for citizens from 19 countries, impacting thousands of international students trying to study in the U.S.
- The ban was implemented due to concerns about a significant number of individuals remaining in the country beyond their visa terms and potential security risks posed by unstable or hostile foreign nations, with the administration intending to maintain it until identified weaknesses in the screening process are resolved.
- Affected students include Bahara Saghari from Afghanistan, Gu Gu from Myanmar, and Pouya Karami from Iran, whose educational plans in U.S. colleges were disrupted or postponed.
- Last year, over 5,700 F-1 and J-1 visas for students and researchers from these countries were issued between May and September, yet many now cannot attend due to slowed visa processing and additional vetting.
- The travel ban’s persistence suggests continued obstacles for international students seeking U.S. opportunities, prompting some to defer admission or seek alternatives abroad.
