Most of those countries would be subject to restrictions because of the "10% visa overstay" threshold.
Here& #39;s an example of how that creates absurd results. In 2019, five students from Tuvalu departed the US on time, and one didn& #39;t.
That one person put the overstay rate at 17%.

Importantly, students blocked from a visa longer than two years could still get multiple student visas over the course of their education, in order to get a four-year degree or a grad degree. But that wouldn& #39;t be guaranteed, could be expensive, and denials are possible.
