Texas: Report of sudden cancellation of visa for international students, in which around 20 Pakistanis have enrolled in major universities in the United States, holding the student visa, increased widespread fear and anxiety among students.
Many of them are Muslim and South Asian students.
Dozens of student visas have been canceled in several campuses at the University of California, including Harvard University, Stanford, University of Texas at Stanford, University of Texas, Cincinnati, Michigan, and Berkeley, Davis, Irwin, San Diego, and UCLA.
In the UCLA alone, six current students and six recent graduates canceled their visas, while in UC Berkeley, one graduate, three graduate students and two alumni were influenced.
At the University of Michigan, a student whose identity has not been revealed has already left the country after visa cancellation, the university has continued with full support to continue its educational progress.
The University of California has stated that it is closely monitoring the situation and providing legal and institutional support to the affected people.
Harvard confirmed the dispute of visa for three current students and two recent graduates, while Stanford reported similar action against four students and two alumni.
In most cases, neither universities nor students were given prior notice, and the cancellation was discovered during a regular check -up of students and exchange visitor information systems (sevis).
While the US State Department and the Homeland Security Department have not officially commented on these works, former State Secretary Marco Rubio claimed that more than 300 international student visas have been canceled nationwide.
He suggested that many of these students were involved in political activism, especially Palestinian performances.
In the UCLA, Chancellor Julio Franak assured the students that the university stands by its international community, studying, working and supporting the rights to live without any fear. He admitted that the sudden nature of these cancellations has created immense uncertainty and crisis.
Similarly, seven international students at Ohio State University have canceled their visas, and four students at Michigan University were affected, one of whom had to leave the US on the advice of the university. These rebellions are believed to have been considered part of the broader cracks by targeting politically active international students by the Trump administration.
University officials, advocates of human rights and student organizations have expressed serious concerns about the lack of fixed process in these visa cancellations.
In many cases, the visa was canceled without formal notification or any legal action, which reduces the principles of fair treatment and transparency.
International students, many of whom contribute significantly to educationists, research and lives, are now facing a height of vulnerability.
This developed situation demands that both the US government and educational institutions provide clarity and ensure a proper and transparent process for international students.
The current climate is sending a disturbing message to the global educational community: studies in the United States can no longer safe or welcome, especially for those who choose to express their beliefs or engage in peaceful activism.
