US Orders Nigerian and Other International Students with Cancelled Visas to Leave the Country

The United States government has directed Nigerian students, along with other international students whose visas have been cancelled, to leave the country immediately.

This development follows a recent crackdown on visa compliance, with US immigration authorities reviewing the status of foreign students enrolled in academic institutions across the country. Students affected by the cancellations were notified via email or through their designated school officials.

According to immigration officials, the decision was made due to violations of visa terms, including failure to maintain full-time student status, unauthorized employment, or institutions losing accreditation. Affected students are expected to arrange their departure within a specified timeframe to avoid further legal consequences, including deportation or re-entry bans.

Several Nigerian students have expressed shock and concern over the decision, with many stating they were unaware of any visa issues. Legal experts and advocacy groups have urged affected students to consult immigration attorneys for guidance and to explore possible appeals or waivers.

The Nigerian government has yet to issue an official statement but is reportedly monitoring the situation closely and may engage with US authorities to seek clarifications and support for its citizens.

This development has raised fresh concerns about the challenges faced by international students in the US, especially amid evolving immigration policies and enforcement actions.
