BANGALORE: More of Indians, not just students but people travelling on work, tourist and business visas have been deported from U.S. recently, reports ET.
As per another advisory, travelers from India, not just the students, are asked to carry all the valid data and documents. The deportations have made India strongly emphasize the need to honor the visas issued by U.S. itself.
Indians have been asked by the government to carry the supporting documentation that would clearly state the location of stay, financial support sponsorship and other details.
"Government of India continues to remain closely engaged with the US Government on this subject. We have strongly emphasized the need for the US authorities to honor the visas issued by their own Embassy/Consulates,'' said the advisory.
Earlier, Indian students were denied entry who were travelling to seek admission in Silicon Valley University, San Jose and Northwestern Polytechnic University, Fremont. Even though the students carried their valid visas they were restricted from entering and were deported.
As per MEA, ‘blacklisting’ of the universities is not the reason behind the deportation. Assessment of individual applicants by the immigration authorities has led to this decision. The border patrol agents did not find the information presented by the student consistent with the visa status and thus they were deported.
According to the universities, visa regulations have been tightened after the Paris terror attacks and these deportations have got nothing to do with the blacklisting.
Gauging the decisions, the government has suggested the Indian students to ensure the proper authorization and capacities of the universities they are applying to.
Students are asked to carry along healthcare arrangements, study plans, financial support, housing and other documents for interviews with the U.S. immigration officials.
