I spent $8,000 to get back to US after Trump visa deadline
A group of international students found themselves in a challenging situation when faced with the visa deadline changes implemented by the Trump administration. The students, hailing from various countries around the world, were studying in the United States when the new visa regulations were announced.
With the sudden deadline to leave the country, many students faced the tough decision of either returning to their home countries or finding alternatives to remain in the US legally. Among them was a group of students who decided to comply with the new regulations and depart from the US.
To meet the deadline and comply with the visa regulations, these students had to navigate the logistical and financial hurdles of international travel during a global pandemic. Flights were limited, ticket prices were inflated, and quarantine requirements added to the complexity of the situation.
One student shared that they had to spend $8,000 on flight tickets and quarantine expenses to return to the US before the visa deadline expired. The hefty sum was a considerable burden on the student and their family but was deemed necessary to ensure compliance with the new regulations.
The Trump administration’s motive behind the visa deadline changes was to prioritize American workers during the economic recovery from the pandemic. While the students understood the government’s stance, the abrupt implementation of the new regulations put them in a difficult position.
As the students settled back into their studies in the US, the financial and emotional toll of the visa deadline ordeal remained. Their experiences shed light on the complexities faced by international students amidst changing visa regulations and global uncertainties.
