Should I still consider going to the US for my masters or should I prefer another country because US student visas are currently difficult to get in UK/Australia?

Given the current high US student visa rejection rate (61% for Indian applicants in 2025), it’s wise to consider alternative countries for your master’s.

- Germany: High visa approval (about 90 - 92%), low or no tuition at public universities, strong post-study work and residency options.
- Canada: Generous post-graduation work permit (up to 3 years), high permanent residency success, especially via Express Entry.
- UK: High visa approval (around 94%), 2-year Graduate Route post-study work visa.
- Australia: 2 - 4 year post-study work visa, but now higher-risk for Indian applicants, which may mean more scrutiny.

With your strong academic profile and plans for a master’s in Computer Technology, Germany and Canada are especially promising due to their favorable visa and work policies.
