US student visa issuances now exceed pre-COVID levels - bjcheung77 - 08-22-2023
Short on time? Here are the highlights:
- The number of F-1 study visas issued by the US last year exceeded the total number of F-1s in 2019
- India is driving overall growth along with several other key Asian markets and there is strong growth from Europe, Africa, and Latin America as well
- The strong performance comes in spite of rising rejection rates for F-1 applicants
- The US denied 35% of all F-1 applications in 2022, and more than half of all applicants from Africa in particular
