Indian students US visa rate has declined sharply in the US Universities. In the wake of the current crisis between the Trump administration and the international students, foreign education consultants in the city of Hyderabad have reported a plummeting of 70 per cent in the outbound traffic. This slump is an effect of the continued freeze on visa slots and the recent surge in the rate of rejection of visas.

Indian students US Visa Ratio
At this point, a majority of students already completed their visa interviews and are ready to fly. We keep updating the portal daily this year hoping that a slot would open out. This is the worst ever in years to come, Sanjeev Rai in Hyderabad Overseas Consultant advised the Times of India.
US authorities had promised that releases in visa slots will be half baked, but up to this time, they are clouded with a lot of mystery and students are worried. Besides they said that students who are able to reserve the slots have been unable to confirm their booking and it could only be the testing of the system by the US, Ankit Jain added, Window Overseas Education Consultancy.
Because of this, students are shopping education in other countries, “”I was not at all able to wait. This is possibly the year that I will miss. They are trying to make a career in a field that really does not seem to exist now, so I have pulled my application saying it seems like a dead end now,” said a 23-year-old who is searching Germany to get an automotive engineering master degree.
People’s Thoughts on Indian students US visa
According to Arvind Manduva, I20 fever consultancy, “Unless the slots are unlocked within this week, thousands of dreams would be broken.” It is possible to reduce it by almost 80 percent. We’re already receiving panic calls every day by students and their parents.”
The next problem that comes about is that students who had entered as early as March and succeeded to book interview appointments are today being met with a rather high rate of rejection. Lots of students who are used to a clear passage are getting rejected. They also had a clean social media. It is so because, apparently, everyone is receiving 214B, Jain followed up.
Reason for Rejection of US Visa
The most frequent cause of denial of the visa is section 214b of the US Immigration and Nationality Act. It is assigned in a situation where the applicant fails to show enough aspects to his or her home country to indicate that he would go back to home after the visit.
Ravi Lothumalla of US Admission, an immigration advisory firm in Dallas, Texas explained, that this is not a novel procedure and the regulations have been there, vetting and examination have been in the market since years and this has merely gained office.
The Hyderabad-based US Consulate General said that slots are now open again and that students can see the embassy or the site to know about availability of appointment slots. We are also ensuring visa applicants are vetted in full, to ascertain that they are not intending to do harm to America or our interests and that the said applicants are establishing their eligibility to such a visa with a credible claim to such visa and also intending activities within the terms of their admission in a genuine manner.
How to Prevent US Student Visa Rejection?
Before students apply, we would like to advise them to apply as early as they can and that are likely to take more time to process these types of visas, said the US Consulate General Hyderabad spokesperson.
India last year had surpassed China and sent more than 3.3 lakh students to the United States.
That is why as per the information released by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) as on January 1, 2024, there were more than 11.6 lakh Indian students across the world studying higher education systems at the offshore locations and the figure had consistently been increasing in respect of Europe as a destination as well.
