Visa Crackdown Hits International Students in Rochester

Written by on April 10, 2025

The University of Rochester and Rochester Institute of Technology have confirmed that several of their international students have been affected by recent visa revocations.

At least 11 U of R students and recent graduates lost their visas, with nine removed from the federal student visa system.

This follows a reported government crackdown on foreign students involved in pro-Palestinian protests.

Both universities say they are supporting affected students and monitoring the situation closely.
