The United States issued nearly one-fifth fewer student visas in August compared to the same month in 2024, following a crackdown by the Trump administration. A sharp decline in student visas for Indian nationals was the most significant contributor to this drop, with India overtaken by China as the leading source of foreign students. According to data from the International Trade Commission, the US issued 313,138 student visas in August, marking a 19.1% decrease year-over-year.

India, which had been the top source of foreign students to the United States in 2024, saw a staggering 44.5% decline in student visa issuance. In contrast, while China also experienced a decline in student visas, the drop was far less severe. In August, 86,647 student visas were issued to students from mainland China, more than double the number granted to Indian students.
