Student Visa Update: The United States issued a record number of student visas to Indian applicants during the summer months of June, July, and August, with over 90,000 visas granted. This represents nearly one in four of all student visas issued worldwide during that period.
In a recent announcement on X platform, the US Embassy in India celebrated this achievement, stating: “The US Mission in India is pleased to report that we have surpassed all previous records, granting over 90,000 student visas during the summer months of June, July, and August. Notably, nearly one in four global student visas was approved right here in India! Congratulations and best wishes to all the students who have chosen the United States to pursue their higher education aspirations. Mission accomplished! Through teamwork and innovative approaches, we ensured that all eligible applicants could embark on their academic journeys without delay.”
This record-breaking number of student visas is significant, especially given the ongoing dispute between India and Canada over student visas. Canada has recently tightened its visa requirements for Indian students, making it more difficult for them to obtain a visa. This has led to a surge in Indian students applying to study in the United States.
The US Embassy in India’s announcement is a clear sign that the United States is welcoming Indian students and remains committed to providing them with access to high-quality education.
