F-1 Student Visas on the Rise

In what may be a suprise to many, on November 16, 2007, the Department of State announced that in Fiscal Year 2007 it issued a record number of visas to students to study in the United States, even exceeding pre-9/11 levels.

During Fiscal Year 2007, the Department issued more than 651,000 student and exchange visitor visas - 10 percent more than last year and 90,000 more than were issued in Fiscal Year 2001.

That's good news for the U.S. and its economy!
