In the upcoming years, will overseas students in the US encounter difficulties?

Two major challenges face international students, primarily those from India: first, the Trump administration might try to cut back on the two years of hands-on training that STEM students are required to complete. The second possibility is that the visa period would be shortened, which would result in more administrative and budgetary limitations. The President, on the other hand, said in a June podcast that students who graduate from US universities can get green cards to remain in the US. His campaign later clarified, however, that this would only apply to “entirely vetted” students who would not displace American workers or decrease American salaries. Many consider his comment to be only a talking point in this situation. International students are permitted to stay in the United States for as long as they have paid for their coursework under the “admission for duration of status” clause; their stay is indefinite. In an effort to curb overstays, the Trump administration proposed in 2020 that student visas be restricted for a maximum of four years, and in some cases, for just two years. “When this was proposed, immigration attorney Rajiv S. Khanna of Arlington stated that the announced limited term creates a problem for Indian and other immigrant students.” There is no doubt that a four-year maximum is less than a doctoral degree or even a bachelor’s degree program, when students opt to add an extra semester. In addition to increasing expenses for enrolled students, requests for extensions would introduce further uncertainty. There is still disagreement over whether this proposal will be resurrected.
