Indian Teen Says U.S. Student Visa Freeze is Unfair
📚 Many students dream of studying abroad, but for some, that dream just got a bit harder. The United States has decided to stop scheduling new appointments for student visas. This means students from other countries who want to study in the U.S. might have to wait longer. 😟
One of these students is Romil, a 17-year-old from Kerala State in India. 🇮🇳 He was excited to apply to a university in the U.S. But now, he’s feeling disappointed. “It’s not fair,” he says. “We work really hard to get into these schools.” 🏫
The U.S. State Department is also planning to check students’ social media more closely. That means they might look at things people post online before giving them a visa. Romil thinks this is too much. “Everyone posts silly things sometimes,” he says. “It doesn’t mean we’re bad people.” 😕
Because of all this, Romil is thinking about applying to universities in other countries that offer good education. “There are many great schools around the world,” he says. “Maybe it’s time to look somewhere else.” 🌍
This news affects many students like Romil who are hoping to study in the U.S. What do you think about this situation? 🤔
