F-1 Students are living in a tumultuous time in the US as authorities have revoked various student visas over minor cases such as traffic violations.
Their status at the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), which holds the record for all immigrant students, has suddenly been terminated resulting in people being forced to leave the country immediately.

Thanks to the Trump administration, his SEVIS was terminated without warning, ruining his dream of a CS degree in America. He’s now forced to return to India, jobless, carrying a one-year resume gap and a ₹40 lakh loan.
The F-1 student called it the “lowest phase” of his life and asked for help restarting his career. This is not an isolated case either. Indians, crushed under student loans, are getting deported over small charges and forced to abandon their future.

There are positive updates, as recently 3 US courts have restrained 3 students’ SEVIS termination and allowed them to continue their stay. But the authorities are throwing out those who don’t have the means.
If any student faces SEVIS termination, it is best to contact your immigration attorney for help.
