The United States has issued a strong warning to international students, including Nigerians, about the serious consequences of violating student visa rules.
In a statement released on Monday via its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, the U.S. Mission in Nigeria cautioned that students who drop out, skip classes, or abandon their academic programmes without informing their schools could face visa revocation and may also be barred from future U.S. visa applications.
“If you drop out, skip classes, or leave your programmes of study without informing your school, your student visa may be revoked, and you may lose eligibility for future U.S. visas,” the message read.

The mission urged all student visa holders to strictly comply with visa regulations, stay in good academic standing, and always notify their schools of any changes in their enrolment status.
“Always adhere to the terms of your visa and maintain your student status to avoid any issues,” the U.S. Mission emphasized.
This advisory serves as a reminder of the strict enforcement policies around student visas and the importance of academic compliance for all foreign students studying in the United States.
