Congress raises concern over revocation of visas to Indian students in US

New Delhi: The Congress expressed its concern about the statement by the American Immigration Lawyers Association claiming that Indian students accounted for half of the 327 incidents of visa revocation of international students in the United States, and asked whether the external affairs minister would raise the matter with his US counterpart.

"A press statement issued yesterday by the American Immigration Lawyers Association is cause for concern to us in India. Out of the 327 visa revocation cases of international students collected by the organisation so far, 50% are Indians.

The reasons for revocation are random and unclear. There is growing fear and apprehension.


Will the external affairs minister take note and raise the concern with his US counterpart?" said Jairam Ramesh, All India Congress Committee communications in-charge.
