We explain what changed, why officials say the bar for proof is higher, and how this shift is reshaping plans for students aiming for upcoming intakes.

You’ll learn what led to this moment, how fraud investigations involving fake letters of acceptance raised scrutiny, and what officers are prioritizing now—from traceable funding sources to clearer academic fit. We translate policy into practical steps, timelines to watch, and concrete ways to protect your application.
