According to Associated Press, universities across the US have raised concerns about the unexpected cancellation of some international students' visas. University leaders claim that the US government has been quietly terminating the legal residency status of international students, often without notifying the students or their schools.
University representatives stated that while there are various reasons for visa cancellations, the recent practice of revoking legal residency with little to no communication marks a significant departure from past procedures. This lack of transparency increases the risk of students being detained or deported without prior warning.
Prominent institutions like Harvard University, Stanford University, the University of Michigan, UCLA, and Ohio State University have reported instances where students discovered their legal status had been terminated.
Several universities indicated that they are still unclear about the reasons behind these cancellations and are seeking further clarification from the authorities.
