US suspends visa interviews for international students

The U.S. State Department temporarily suspends visa interview appointments for new student and exchange programs. The move comes as it expands its social media vetting process for foreign applicants, a senior administration official said on condition of anonymity.

State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said: “We use every tool we can to understand who is coming to our country, whether it’s a student or someone in another status.”
