Here are the 10 main developments:
India's advisory has been issued after the deportation of a number of Indian students for allegedly providing information "inconsistent with their visa status".
"All Indian nationals traveling to the US must carry necessary supporting documentations regarding place of stay, financial support, medical arrangements, sponsorship details etc," a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs said.
Earlier this month, 14 Indian students from Hyderabad headed to two universities in California were deported. The government says this is not because the universities were "blacklisted" as originally reported, but "based on the assessment made by the US immigration authorities of individual applicants."
But the government also said in a statement yesterday , "there have been further cases of denial of entry to Indian students holding valid visas to pursue studies in other US educational institutions...some Indian nationals travelling on business/tourism/work visas have also been deported."
The government says it has conveyed the need for US authorities to honour the visas issued by their own embassies and consulates.
It has also asked students enrolling in US colleges to ensure that the institutions are legitimate.
All Indian students arriving in the US on new F-1 visas are being screened thoroughly at airports, according to the Telugu Association of North America (TANA). Most of these students are being allowed entry after they establish their credentials, the organization said.
But some students have been denied entry reportedly because they were unable to clearly explain where they plan to live and how they plan to meet their tuition and living expenses.
ome of those denied visa said they planned to get part-time jobs which is not allowed by the law, according to reports.
In some cases, some of the documents furnished by the applicants could not be verified and were suspected to be fraudulent, according to the Telugu Association of North America.
