President Trump's travel ban has severely impacted international students' plans to study in the US. Students from countries like Afghanistan, Iran, and Myanmar, who had secured admission to American universities, are now unable to obtain visas. This has forced many to defer their studies, seek alternatives in other countries, or abandon their plans altogether. The ban, citing national security concerns and visa overstay rates, has created significant hardship for students who have invested considerable time and resources in their applications, and for their families who supported them.
