Have you ever wondered how many students are in U.S. or how many students from each country come to U.S. for education? Well, if you happen to be in U.S. Consulate for Student Visa Stamping during the months of May, June, July and August then for sure you will get the feel.
Also, when students try to book dates for visa to attend Fall semester, then you will get to know how difficult is to get the Visa date and time. Some students want to appear for visa on particular day and time, but its hard to get.
Students Admitted to U.S.
Department of Home Land security have released the immigration statistics for various Visa categories. Today, you can find the total number of students admitted into U.S. for last 10 years.
The statistics provides the number of admissions to the U.S., not the number of people admitted. If single person, traveling multiple times, would be counted each time s/he enters or exits the United States. If a student travels twice to his home country and enters U.S. twice in given calendar year, his/her count will be two.
