Students in Africa and South America have been denied visas to study in the U.S. at disproportionately higher rates than students from elsewhere in the world, according to a report.

Researchers analyzed data of F-1 visa refusals and approvals based on statistics from the U.S. government and data on the flow of international students globally from the Institute of International Education and global data sources, such as the United Nations and World Bank. Visa applications are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The spokesperson added that some students may fail to meet the requirement surrounding"the presumption of immigrant intent," meaning they may not have demonstrated sufficiently strong ties to their home countries to qualify for a nonimmigrant visa.
The researchers estimated that the disparity equals about 92,000 “missed opportunity students” who were potentially eligible to study in the U.S. but could not.
