As of June 7, 2025, there is no official confirmation of widespread visa cancellations targeting Indian citizens in the United States. However, recent changes in U.S. visa policies have caused uncertainty, particularly for Indian students and professionals holding nonimmigrant visas such as F-1 and H-1B.
On May 28, 2025, the U.S. Embassy in India temporarily halted new F-1 student visa interviews to introduce enhanced social media vetting processes. This has led to delays for many Indian applicants, a significant group among U.S. international students. The embassy has indicated that further updates will be provided soon, leaving students in limbo.
An unverified post on X dated May 30, 2025, claimed that 1,080 Indian nationals were deported from the U.S. since January 2025. Without official corroboration, this information remains unconfirmed. Meanwhile, reports from May 28, 2025, indicate that the U.S. State Department, in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security, is adopting stricter visa enforcement measures under the current administration. While not explicitly targeting Indians, these policies have sparked concerns about potential visa revocations for minor violations.
Last week, the U.S. Embassy in India rolled out changes to nonimmigrant visa processing, though specifics on cancellations are limited. Indian visa holders are encouraged to monitor official sources, such as https://in.usembassy.gov or https://travel.state.gov, for reliable updates.
Although no large-scale visa terminations have been substantiated, these developments highlight the importance of staying informed for Indian nationals navigating the U.S. visa system.
