North American Association of Indian Students

NAAIS has been proactive in providing information to international students on F1 visa and general H1B visa holders. We were on NDTV to discuss the impact on international students. #H1B #internationalstudents #studyabroad #StudyintheUSA

Did something different this morning. Spoke in Hindi about my thoughts on the Trump inauguration and how it impacts students here of Indian origin and nationality. North American Association of Indian Students

Hours before the inauguration, Ravi Teja, a 26-year-old student from Hyderabad, India, was tragically shot and killed in Washington, D.C. He had moved to the U.S. in 2022 to pursue his MBA. The circumstances surrounding the shooting are currently under investigation by local authorities.

It's #InternationalEducationWeek, and NAAIS was on NDTV to talk about the increase of Indian students studying in the United States, and the impact of the new administration might have on students studying in the United States. We estimate the number of Indian students studying in the United States to only increase, and we'll be there to serve the students and build a community.

It was wonderful to join NDTV World on behalf of the North American Association of Indian Students to talk about the rise of internatonal Indian students in the United States and the impact of the new Donald Trump administration on legal immigration on a study basis.

We know you know that elections are tomorrow. We also know you know how NAAIS and Indian American Impact have focused on bringing out the desi student vote in battleground states this year. But do you know that elections matter to you, regardless of whether you’re eligible to vote or not? Tomorrow is not just a presidential election, it’s also local and state representatives and issues on the ballot. International student on a scholarship? Your state government might have a lot to with the funds for your scholarship. In a lab working on your PhD? That lab just might be sponsored by the federal government. Feel unsafe in your college town? Being connected to your local representatives and administration matters. Whether you’re on an F1 visa or green card or you’re undocumented, the Census decides Congress apportionment, funding, and access to a lot of the conveniences you have. It matters who’s in power and who represents your city, district, state, and the country even if you’re just student on an F1 or in the process of acquiring citizenship. You have just as much of a stake. If you can’t vote, make sure you’re informed on the issues and get your friends who can to vote

A graba that’s also promoting the desi vote to come out in SOUTH DAKOTA!?! Congratulations to the ISA at USD for hosting such a phenomenal event at University of South Dakota’s campus to promote a community for Indians and ensuring there was a civic engagement component to it! We’re grateful you made NAAIS and IMPACT a part of it! Hard to imagine that Vermillion, South Dakota is now home to a growing number of international Indians coming to study alongside a steady number of Indian-Americans. NAAIS and @iaimpact made sure to reach out to communities that are often overlooked due to their remoteness. Just because it’s rural America doesn’t mean there’s a solid representation of Desis!

October has been all about NaVoteri to get the desi vote out! Indian America IMPACT and NAAIS were are all across the country hosting voter registration and awareness drives for the past month at garbas and Diwali events! From the battleground states of Michigan to Arizona to states with large Indian populations like Florida and Ohio, you’ll see us trying to get the youth vote to come out! #desivote #youthvote #vote #2024elections
