Breaking: US gives two-year limit for African students study visas (Full list)

Many African students in the United States of America will have to reapply for visas in the middle of their degree courses due to the present immigration measure.
OnyxNews Nigeria reports that the Department for Homeland Security (DHS) issued a plan that is now up for discussion, lists changes to student visas that have previously been issued for the duration of a course.
But students from many countries will be allowed to get a four-year visa, there are others who will be limited to two years “due to heightened concerns related to abuse, national security and fraud”, the DHS has stated.
People from countries, such as Sudan, listed by the US as state sponsors of terror will be affected. But by far the largest group are those from countries who have had more than 10% of their citizens overstay their visas.
According to government data, this includes Nigeria, which in 2019 had 13% overstay rate.
Other countries affected are:
Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, The Gambia, Liberia, Malawi and Uganda.
