7,000+ Indian student exchange visitors overstayed in the U.S. in 2023
Hindustan TimesOver 7,000 student and exchange visitors from India overstayed in the US in 2023, an expert told US lawmakers and suggested several reforms in the country's immigration policies, including those related to H-1B visas. The H-1B visa programme has been instrumental in driving the growth of America’s tech industry over the past four decades As many as 32 countries have student/exchange visitor overstay rates of higher than 20 per cent, Jessica M Vaughan from the Center for Immigration Studies told the US House Committee on the Judiciary during a hearing on “Restoring Immigration Enforcement in America.” The F and M visa categories have the highest overstay rates of any of the broad categories of temporary admission. “Four countries -- Brazil, China, Colombia and India -- each had more than 2,000 of their citizens overstaying student/exchange visas in 2023, with India having the highest number,” Vaughan said on Wednesday. The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise.
