May 27, 2025: Important Travel Advisory for F-1 and J-1 Students
The Trump administration has reportedly directed U.S. embassies and consulates to temporarily stop conducting student visa interviews and to halt scheduling new visa appointments as it prepares to implement expanded social media screening for international applicants.
ISSS is closely monitoring the situation. Until more information is available, we strongly advise international students in F-1 or J-1 status to reconsider any international travel plans if they will need to apply for a new F-1 or J-1 visa to return to the U.S.
We encourage all students to:
- Carefully review the ISSS Travel Webpage
- Read our Travel FAQ for important guidance
- Stay alert to potential policy changes by regularly checking your CU email and monitoring our Immigration Alerts page
We will share updates as soon as more information becomes available.
