The US Embassy in India issued a stern warning to international students that breaking US laws could result in student visa cancellation, deportation, and long-term ineligibility for future visas. In a post on X, the embassy emphasized "a US visa is a privilege, not a right," urging visa holders to comply with local laws and regulations. The advisory comes amid the Trump administration's tightened visa enforcement across student, work, and visitor categories, focusing on compliance, security vetting, and deterring overstays. Measures include broadened visa revocations for legal infractions, enhanced background checks, social media screening, and proposals limiting student stay durations without additional review while prioritizing higher-paid H-1B applicants.
