African Students in USA: Uncertain Future Amid Visa Policy Changes

African students in the U.S. face a precarious future due to potential changes in visa policies influenced by presidential elections. Students like Nigerian Ernestino Amaechi are concerned about their ability to remain and work in the U.S., as political decisions could tighten visa requirements and affect international student flows.

African students are increasingly visible on U.S. campuses, but their future is at risk as visa rules may tighten depending on the presidential election outcome. Ernestino Amaechi, a Nigerian student, fears separation from his children if policies change.

Working as a part-time teacher, Amaechi's current visa benefits are set to expire. His hopes hinge on obtaining an H-1B visa, but the election could complicate this process.

Visa policy, affected by presidential power, remains uncertain. Stakeholders emphasize the importance of understanding candidates' immigration policies to anticipate their impact on international students.
