印度籍记者Kaushik Raj不顾奖学金拒发美国学生签证, Indian journalist Kaushik Raj denied U.S. student visa despite scholarship, amid rising rejections tied to social media scrutiny.

印度记者Kaushik Raj, 获哥伦比亚大学100 000美元奖学金, 却在2025年8月被拒发美国学生签证, Indian journalist Kaushik Raj, awarded a $100,000 scholarship to Columbia University, was denied a U.S. student visa in August 2025 despite strong academic credentials and financial support. 官员们指出，与印度的联系不足，但拉吉认为，拒绝源于特朗普政府引入的扩大社交媒体审查，该审查要求申请人披露所有在线帐户。 Officials cited insufficient ties to India, though Raj believes the rejection stemmed from expanded social media vetting introduced under the Trump administration, which requires applicants to disclose all online accounts. 他和至少另外3名印度学生在分享关于仇恨犯罪和少数民族问题的新闻报道后也报告过类似的否认,但美国官员没有正式确认。 He and at least three other Indian students reported similar denials after sharing journalism on hate crimes and minority issues, with no official confirmation from U.S. officials. 这一趋势恰好与2025年8月印度学生签证抵达人数下降50%同时出现,这引起了人们对国际学生在线表达方式以及美国高等教育作为全球目的地的未来日益严格的关注。 The trend coincides with a 50% drop in Indian student visa arrivals in August 2025, raising concerns about increased scrutiny of international students’ online expression and the future of U.S. higher education as a global destination.
