personal information or supporting<\/a> documentation are the main cause of rejections.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSuch trivial matters were previously disregarded, but they are now under more scrutiny, perhaps as a result of the impending US elections (Trump 2.0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to a recent US government report, 2.79 lakh (41%) of the 6.79 lakh F-1 visa applications submitted in 2023\u20132024 were denied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A large percentage of these rejections were from Indian students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though there is a consistent desire to study overseas, the uncertainty surrounding visas is making many students hesitant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More and more students are looking into other countries, such as Germany and the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the UK, places like Scotland and Wales are becoming more popular than London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Is the Reason Behind Higher Rejection Rates of Indian Students<\/strong>
Higher rejection rates are a result of Indian students overstaying their visas.<\/p>\n\n\n\nApproximately 7,081 Indian students overstayed their US visas in 2023, primarily as a result of difficulties finding employment and preserving their legal status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to prevent future overstays, the US is now rigorously screening applicants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nowadays, a lot of students are deterred and less inclined to apply to study in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A BTech final-year student voiced dissatisfaction with the state of affairs for overseas students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Public safety and national security are given top priority in the US Department of State’s visa application process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The number of Indian students in the US increased during the 2023\u20132024 school year in spite of the rejections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
India is currently the country from which the most international students come to study in the US.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
