The U.S. Department of State has implemented a temporary pause in scheduling new student visa appointments. We understand that this development may cause you uncertainty. International Student and Scholar Services is tracking this news closely, and we will be in contact as we learn more.  

If you need to apply for or renew your visa, please know the following: 

• Students with a scheduled appointment: Attend your interview as planned. 
• Students who need to renew their visa and do not have an appointment scheduled: Continue to monitor the U.S. embassy or consulate where you are applying for future appointment availability.  
• Monitor official U.S. embassy and consulate websites for updates regarding the resumption of student visa appointments in your country. 
• Stay in contact with International Student and Scholar Services. We encourage you to regularly check your email and our website for the latest updates. If your arrival to the United States will be delayed or if you have questions about your specific situation, please contact your international student adviser.  
• Stay in contact with your university department if your arrival to the United States will be delayed. 

Additional updates regarding student visa appointments will be posted on our Insights page.
