๐บ๐ธ๐ท๐บ๐ฎ๐ทUS Visa Suspension: 75 Countries Face Immigration Freeze Amid Policy Review The U.S. State Department has suspended visa issuance for citizens of 75 countries, effective January 21. The move, impacting nations including Russia, Iran, and Afghanistan, is prompted by a review of screening and vetting procedures. The State Department is targeting applicants deemed likely to become a "public charge". The duration of the visa suspension remains indefinite. The White House has confirmed the pause in immigrant visa processing, which includes countries such as Brazil, Cuba, and Nigeria. The State Department stated the freeze targets countries whose migrants take welfare at unacceptable rates. The suspension will remain until the U.S. can ensure new immigrants will not extract wealth. President Trump has reportedly frozen all immigrant visa processing for these 75 countries.
