The U.S. State Department has temporarily suspended scheduling new visa interviews for foreign students while preparing to enhance social media screening. This suspension, which excludes previously scheduled interviews, is part of a broader approach by the Trump administration aimed at tightening restrictions on international students. A recent cable from Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicates that guidance on increased social media vetting will be forthcoming. The move follows earlier actions that included revoking certain colleges’ abilities to enroll international students and the reconsideration of legal status for students already in the U.S.
The State Department has halted the scheduling of new visa interviews for foreign students as it prepares to expand social media screening, a temporary suspension.
