Today's Video Focus: The number of visas issued to foreign students by the US fell sharply last year amid stricter immigration rules. According to reports, in the year ended September 30, 2017, the state department issued 393,573 student visas-F1 visas. It's 17% below the previous year and 40% below the 2015 peak. And just on Monday, the Trump administration announced it was stopping the processing of H1-B premium visas that affect a large number of skilled Indian IT officials.
