In a move that may drastically affect over 4 lakh Indian students in the United States, the Trump administration is reviving a controversial proposal to replace the current ‘duration of status’ policy with a fixed visa tenure of 2 or 4 years for F‑1 and J‑1 visa holders. This could disrupt PhD and dual-degree programs and significantly raise the burden on Indian students legally, financially, and emotionally. Critics fear the policy may bypass public feedback under an “interim final rule”. Already, student visa scrutiny has intensified at US airports. Indian families are concerned about academic continuity, while legal experts call this an anti-immigrant shift cloaked in bureaucratic reform. Watch this in-depth report on the future of US-bound Indian students and what’s next in this unfolding visa crisis.#usvisarules #f1visa #indianstudentsinusa #studentvisaissues #trumpvisa #usimmigration #phdvisa #opt #h1b #studyabroad #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews
