The US Con­sulate in T&T says the sus­pen­sion in new ap­pli­ca­tions for US stu­dent visas (F-1, M1 and J-1) for T&T na­tion­als is a “short op­er­a­tional pause and does not sig­ni­fy a change in US stu­dent visa pol­i­cy” to­wards this coun­try.

This is ac­cord­ing to the Min­istry of For­eign and Cari­com Af­fairs.

In a state­ment is­sued yes­ter­day af­ter­noon, the min­istry said it has been in di­rect com­mu­ni­ca­tion with its US coun­ter­parts on the mat­ter lo­cal­ly.
