"US schools are open, and I am happy to announce that student visa applications are prioritized," US Ambassador to Kuwait Alina L Romanowski told reporters.

Later, on her official Twitter account, the US ambassador noted: "I had fun chatting with students and parents today about why they should #ChooseUS. We'll be there all day again on June 11 & 12," she posted. Every year, thousands of citizens and residents travel to the United States to study in colleges and universities there.
