US colleges warn foreign students against summer travel over re-entry risks

Several American colleges and universities have warned their international students, including Pakistanis and Indians, against travelling abroad during the summer, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

University officials expressed concerns that international students involved in any disturbances abroad might face difficulties or even denial of re-entry into the United States.

The University of California, Berkeley, in particular, termed overseas travel as a “risk” for students under the current circumstances.

Many other major American universities have echoed similar concerns, cautioning international students that travelling outside the country could be dangerous.

The president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association also advised students to consult immigration attorneys before making any travel plans, emphasising that travelling abroad during this period could pose serious risks.

According to the association, changing immigration policies and heightened global tensions have made re-entry more unpredictable for non-US citizens.
