The Ministry of Foreign and Caricom Affairs says a temporary operational pause on new applications for US student visas (F-1, M-1 and J-1) for TT nationals does not signify a change in US student visa policy towards TT.

In a statement on June 2, the ministry said it had spoken to its local US counterparts who had confirmed the situation was a short operational pause and not a permanent change.

The ministry said it was important to note that US student visa appointment dates were typically generated approximately one month in advance.
