WASHINGTON: There were 565,039 foreign students studying in the US in 2004-2005, with students from India topping the list, while enrolment from Pakistan fell by 14 percent.

There were a total of 80,466 students from India and only 6,296 from Pakistan. Pakistani students have had a great deal of difficulty in obtaining US visas and even students who had gone home during a break have had trouble returning.
