US tightens visa rules for students, journalists. What this means for Indians
The US tightened visa rules for foreign students, journalists, and cultural exchange visitors, limiting student and exchange visas to a maximum of four years. The new regulations, effective 60 days from publication, also restrict journalist visas to 240 days, or 90 days for Chinese nationals, with extensions possible. This move is expected to significantly affect many Indians seeking education or work opportunities in the US.
