**New Delhi, May 27, 2025:** The U.S. Embassy in India has issued a stark warning to international students studying in the United States, particularly those from India, a major source of foreign students. In a statement released Tuesday, the embassy cautioned that student visas could be revoked if students drop out of programs, skip classes, or leave their designated course of study without properly notifying their institutions.
The announcement, posted on social media platform X, urged students to strictly adhere to the terms of their visas and maintain their student status to avoid jeopardizing their eligibility for future U.S. visas.
“If you drop out, skip classes, or leave your program of study without informing your school, your student visa may be revoked, and you may lose eligibility for future U.S. visas. Always adhere to the terms of your visa and maintain your student status to avoid any issues,” the Embassy stated.
The United States remains a popular destination for Indian students seeking higher education. In 2023, the U.S. consular team in India issued over 140,000 student visas – a record number for the third consecutive year, surpassing all other countries in the number of visas issued. The U.S. Mission in India processed a total of 1.4 million visas in the same year, demonstrating the strong ties between the two nations and the continued demand for U.S. education among Indian citizens. The warning serves as a reminder to international students of the responsibilities and regulations associated with their visas.
