Indian students bound for US universities face a sobering reminder from the US Embassy in New Delhi: obey the law or face expulsion. The X post minces no words—legal violations spell visa cancellation, deportation, and future US travel bans.
Emphasizing privilege over entitlement, the advisory calls for vigilance amid arrests or infractions that could shatter academic dreams. With 300,000 foreign students in the US, including many Indians, the 2025 revocation of 6,000 visas serves as a grim precedent.
President Trump’s sweeping 2025 policy shifts have fortified immigration barriers, prompting these repeated alerts. Recent X updates warned of illegal entry’s perils, from cartel violence to trafficker exploitation, deeming such paths futile.
A December 30 message vowed heavy penalties for offenders, reflecting the administration’s border security zeal. Complementing this, Trump’s Truth Social data revealed low Indian welfare reliance, contrasting sharply with leaders like Bhutan (81.4%), Yemen (75.2%), Somalia (71.9%), Marshall Islands (71.4%), Ivory Coast (49.1%), Liberia (48.9%), and Algeria (48.1%).
This multifaceted context urges Indian students toward prudence. The US beckons with unparalleled prospects, yet demands compliance. Prioritizing rules ensures that educational adventures culminate in success, not setbacks.
