The U.S. State Department temporarily paused student visa processing as it prepares new guidelines for screening applicants’ social media activity.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered the pause on Tuesday. However, as per Reuters, it is expected to be short-lived, with visa appointments likely resuming soon.

State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce reassured international students, stating, “I would not recommend seeking appointments if this were going to be weeks or months.” She emphasised that the pause is temporary, adding, “It’s something that would happen perhaps sooner rather than later.” Rubio’s directive, sent via cable to diplomatic missions, noted that new student visa social media screening guidance will be issued in the coming days.

The pause on interviews will likely slow down student visa processing, and could impact American universities that are heavily reliant on international students for revenue. @alindchauhan explains:https://t.co/Cbcm9havJx

The pause aligns with the Trump administration’s stringent education policies, including revoking thousands of visas, attempting to block Harvard University from admitting international students, and targeting Chinese nationals’ visas. Rubio has also revoked visas of students protesting Israel’s Gaza offensive, citing a law against actions opposing U.S. foreign policy, as reported by The Washington Post.

Bruce urged prospective students to check online for appointment slots, acknowledging minor delays regularly. “Keep checking to see when those spaces open,” she advised, ensuring applicants stay proactive during the U.S. visa policy 2025 transition.

The international student visas pause affects thousands of students globally, raising concerns about access to U.S. education. As new screening rules emerge, the policy could reshape visa processes, balancing security with academic openness.
