Visa revocation for Japanese students in the U.S.
It might have been affected by the Trump administration’s tightening of immigration crackdowns.
Among Japanese students staying in the United States, there have been a number of cases where visas have been canceled, and they have to consult with embassies and consulates. It seems to be part of the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigrants and tightening controls on foreign residents in the United States. International students from India, South Korea, the Middle East, and other countries are said to be in a similar situation. There is a possibility that the number of international students who will be forced to return to Japan will increase.
According to Japanese government officials, about 10 Japanese students recently approached the embassy and other organizations to report that they were studying at a U.S. university and suddenly had their F-1 visas revoked. Specifically, those visas have been revoked or denied renewal. Although it is believed that the number of international students who have their visas revoked is even higher, there have been no confirmed detentions of Japanese students due to illegal stay at this time. A foreign ministry official said, “The Japanese government will provide assistance when detained by the authorities, but there is little that can be done because it is the decision of the United States to revoke visas.” The Trump administration has announced a policy to crack down on university demonstrations protesting Israel’s invasion of the Gaza Strip in the Palestinian territories, and has announced a policy of revoking visas for domestic students on the grounds of “support for terrorist organizations such as the Islamic organization Hamas and support for terrorist activities.” However, according to Japanese government officials, many of the reasons for Japanese students are not ideological crackdowns, but minor violations that had not led to the revocation of their visas, such as speeding while driving. 【Ryoko Tadokoro】
