Republican candidate’s stand on visas, immigration leaves thousands of students in Hyderabad anxious.
Hyderabad: US Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s recent statement indicating that H-IB visas would be restricted, and his administration, if elected, would revisit the Optional Practical Training programme authorisation for F-1 visa holders, has created apprehensions among engineering graduates who are dreaming of higher education in the the United States.
Although Mr Trump seems to have softened his stand since then, students and parents are closely watching as to who, Mr Trump or Ms Hillary Clinton, would become the US President after November 18 polls.
Incidents of several Indian students belonging to Silicon Valley University and North-Western Polytechnic University being sent back from US airports and deportation of about 300 Indian students who had joined the University of Northern New Jersey in the last six months are still fresh in students' minds.
Students here are now adopting a wait-and-watch approach instead of immediately pursuing their US study plans after completing graduation.
A student from a leading private engineering college in the city, who will be heading to the United States in August for his Masters, said many of his friends were keenly following developments in the United States.
Some of them had postponed their plans for the Fall admissions (September 2016) and had decided to explore the option of Spring admissions (January 2017) hoping that better clarity will emerge in the next few months.
“The authorities have tightened visa norms and quite a number of applications are being rejected. Bank statements and financial documents of candidates are now being thoroughly checked in view of the January incidents when Telugu students were found to be heading to varsities in the United States solely relying on part-time jobs to pay their tuition fees,” he said.
This is the DNC and the MSM BS....Trump isn’t President yet, and it’s Hussein that is causing all the trouble!!!
“...has created apprehensions among engineering graduates who are dreaming of FREE higher education in the the United States.”
Fixed.
Let ‘em go to Moscow U. like they used to.
If they’re from a country that practices one of the great religions of the world, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, nothing to worry about.
If they are too upset to come, we will happily give their spot to an American Student who they where bumping in the first place!
Good, I don’t see any problem with America first.
To be fair, international students pay 3x the in-state tuition.
Yeah really, who’s putting this crap out there?
Let em be worried. Maybe they will stay put
Sorry, no sympathy from me. US for the US citizens, first and foremost. Safety for the US citizens FIRST.
Foreigners have NO right to be admitted, just like I have no RIGHT to be admitted to their country. Go pound sand.
And...the problem is???
I think we all know who that would be.
Good. Stay away.
Then stay out.
Gee, America’s universities might have to let Americans in!
Plenty of good schools in Europe.
Good...stay home, and keep your progressive/marxist thought on your OWN soil. Besides; this country is just filthy with guns.
We need our own kids going to college. Screw the muslims.
