Message: [QUOTE="Shamiso, post: 83688, member: 160"] A new visa freeze targets applicants from seventy-five different nations. The policy restricts immigrant visas for people considered likely to need government assistance. This suspension applies across Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. Exceptions exist only for dual nationals or those proving their travel serves a specific national interest. Approved but unprinted visas must now be refused under the order. The extensive list includes war-torn countries, long-standing allies, and nations with traditional migration patterns to the United States. Affected places range from Afghanistan and Iran to Brazil, Jamaica, Nigeria, and Russia. The rule focuses on potential public charges, meaning individuals who might rely on public benefits. [/QUOTE]
