US Student Visa 2025: 3 Key Changes Indian Applicants Must Know
US Student Visa 2025 Changes: The United States has introduced major changes to its student visa application process-these include an increased student visa application fee, mandatory social media screening, and a proposed time limit on student visas. While some of these updates are already in effect, others are expected to roll out starting this September, likely increasing scrutiny and documentation requirements. Here are the 3 key changes for Indian students applying for a US student visa: 1. Increased US Student Visa Fee As part of the "One Big Beautiful Bill" signed by President Donald Trump on July 4, 2025 a new "visa integrity fee" of 250 US dollars (Rs. 21,463) is applicable to all applicants, including Indian students. The bill also includes a mandatory minimum fee of 24 US dollars (Rs. 2060) for Form I-94, which tracks arrivals and departure of foreign visitors. 2. Mandatory Social Media Screening for Indian Applicants The US Embassy in India recently announced that those applying for F, M, or J non-immigrant visa are required to adjust their privacy settings to "public" on all social media accounts. These visa categories are commonly used by academic students. The F visa is for academic students, the M visa is for vocational students, and the J visa is for exchange visitors. The embassy also reiterated that since 2019 the US has required all visa applicants to submit their social media handles on both immigrant and non-immigrant application forms. 3. Proposed "Time Limit" on Student Visas In a recent step to reduce visa overstays, President Trump has proposed a fixed time limit on student visas. Currently, F-1 and J-1 visa holders are allowed to stay in the US for the "duration of status," meaning as long as they are enrolled full-time. Under the new proposal, a fixed stay period will be introduced, with extensions only possible through periodic applications. The implementation date for this proposal is yet to be announced. As the US continues to tighten its immigration policies, staying updated and compliant will be key to a smooth transition to international education.

CM Chandrababu Launches 'Annadatha Sukhibhav' Scheme, Promises Tech for Farmers
Prakasam, Andhra Pradesh – Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu inaugurated the 'Annadatha Sukhibhav' scheme in East Veeraiyapalem, Darshi Mandal, Prakasam district, reaffirming his government's commitment to supporting farmers with technology and direct welfare initiatives. During the event, the CM distributed cheques to beneficiaries and engaged in a direct dialogue with farmers from a specially arranged platform in the fields. Addressing their concerns, he promptly instructed officials to resolve issues on the spot. Highlighting the return of order and governance, CM Naidu stated, 'There was anarchy and mismanagement before the elections. The mistake made in 2019 pushed the state into darkness. My only aspiration is that people should be happy despite challenges.' He praised the alliance with the BJP and Jana Sena Party, emphasising that it was formed in the state's interest to consolidate the anti-government vote. 'Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan came forward with good intentions. Together with the BJP, we aim to bring development and stability,' he said. Confident of national success, he added, 'The BJP will come to power at the Centre for the fourth time. TDP knows how to drive development. We have eliminated threats and restored order.' The Chief Minister criticised the previous administration for discontinuing widow pensions and highlighted the prompt reinstatement under his government. 'Wherever the beneficiaries are, we are ensuring pensions reach them. Andhra Pradesh is spending ₹32,000 crore annually on pensions, compared to Telangana's ₹8,000 crore,' he noted. Announcing a major welfare initiative, CM Naidu revealed that from 15 August, the government will roll out the 'Stree Shakti' scheme, enabling free travel for women across the state. 'This initiative will benefit around 2.62 crore women,' he stated. He also expressed satisfaction over the implementation of the 'Super Six' schemes and reiterated his mission to ensure people's happiness through proactive governance.
