How Student Visas Are Being Revoked In The US Without Notifying Colleges

How Student Visas Are Being Revoked In The US Without Notifying Colleges
SHARE

A surge in colleges and universities in the United States has experienced sudden cancellations of international students’ visas, sparking concerns about heightened government scrutiny. This change in policy has put students at risk of detention and deportation, impacting renowned institutions such as Harvard, Stanford, Michigan, UCLA, and Ohio State University.

Causes of visa cancellations

The reasons for these visa cancellations vary. Some students have been targeted due to their involvement in pro-Palestinian activities or speech. For example, Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder involved in protests at Columbia University, was detained. However, other students with no protest connections have also faced visa cancellations, sometimes due to past offenses like traffic violations.

Effects on international students

Many college officials and students only become aware of changes in immigration status when checking federal databases. International students typically secure F-1 visas after meeting specific criteria, including showing financial support and maintaining good academic standing. Their legal status is overseen by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program under the Department of Homeland Security.

Concerns from higher education authorities

Higher education leaders are concerned that these visa cancellations could deter international education in the US. The lack of clarity surrounding cancellations instills fear among students, according to Sarah Spreitzer, vice president of government relations at the American Council on Education.

Institutional responses

Colleges are seeking clarification from the federal government and advising students to carry their passports and immigration documents. University of Massachusetts Boston Chancellor Marcelo Suárez-Orozco emphasized the importance of preparedness and protection in these uncertain times.

Impacted institutions and students

Multiple institutions, including Harvard, have reported visa cancellations among their students. Harvard identified the issue during a routine review of records, but the reasons for the cancellations remain unclear.

“Harvard highly values the international students and scholars who come here to learn and contribute,” stated the Harvard International Office. “Their talent enriches our campus, enabling us to drive world-class discoveries and foster positive relationships and discussions that broaden the perspectives of our community.”
