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

It's truly encouraging to see that US student visa issuances have not only rebounded but have exceeded pre-COVID levels.
