Please avoid political activities while on a visa

International students in the US, while being in the US PLEASE avoid ALL political activities.

As an international student, your primary focus should be on your studies and maintaining your visa status. Engaging in political activities—such as protests, demonstrations, or public activism—can put your visa and future opportunities at risk. Do NOT follow the crowd.

Potential Risks & Consequences:

Visa Violations: Many visas prohibit political involvement, and participation in certain activities may be seen as a breach of your status.

Deportation & Legal Consequences: Involvement in protests, especially those that turn disruptive, can lead to arrest, deportation, or even future visa bans.

Impact on Future Immigration Status: Records of political activities can affect future visa renewals, work permits, or permanent residency applications. Surveillance & Reporting: Authorities, universities, or even fellow students may report participation, leading to unwanted scrutiny.

Home Country Repercussions: In some cases, engaging in political activism abroad can have legal or social consequences when returning home.

To stay safe, focus on your education, be mindful of visa regulations, and avoid activities that could jeopardize your future. Stay informed, but prioritize your long-term goals.
