On June 18, 2025, the U.S. Department of State issued  announcing that under newly released official guidance, consular officers will conduct a “comprehensive and thorough vetting” of all student and exchange visitor applicants, and that all applicants for F, M, and J nonimmigrant visas will be required to adjust the privacy settings on all their social media profiles to “public.” The U.S. Department of State also stated that they have directed U.S. embassies and consulates to resume conducting student visas (F-1 and J-1) and Exchange Visitor (J-1) visa interviews and to reopen the scheduling of new visa appointments.

ISSS is closely monitoring the situation. Even with this updated information, given the fast-changing nature of current immigration policies, we strongly advise current CU С����Ƶ international students and scholars in F-1 or J-1 status to reconsider any international travel plans.

We encourage all students and scholars to:

• Carefully review the ISSS Travel Webpage.
• Read our General Travel Advisory for important guidance.
• Read about the recent U.S. entry restriction for citizens of certain countries.
• Stay alert to potential policy changes by regularly checking your CU email and monitoring our Immigration Alerts page.

We will share updates as soon as more information becomes available.
