Wednesday, August 13,
2025 - The United States Embassy has issued a warning to international
students, cautioning them about the risk of losing their visa status if they
fail to meet the requirements of their academic programs.
In a statement released on Wednesday, August 13th,
the Embassy urged student visa holders to strictly adhere to the conditions of
their stay, warning that violations could result in visa revocation and loss of
eligibility for future travel to the U.S.
"Heading to the U.S. on a student visa? Ensure you stay
on track! If you drop out, skip classes, or leave your program of study without
informing your school, your visa may be revoked," the statement read.
The advisory comes a week after the Embassy reminded Kenyan
visa applicants to fully disclose their social media accounts during the
application process.
In an August 4th statement, the mission warned
that failure to provide this information could lead to immediate
disqualification.
The Embassy emphasized that, since 2019, all immigrant and
nonimmigrant visa applicants have been required to submit social media
identifiers as part of a broader vetting process to safeguard U.S national
security.
"We use all available information to identify
applicants who may pose a threat," it added.
