US to pause immigrant visa processing for 75 countries
The US is pausing immigrant visa processing for nationals of 75 countries, the State Department said on Wednesday.
"The freeze will remain active until the U.S. can ensure that new immigrants will not extract wealth from the American people," the department said in a statement posted on US social media company X.
"The pause impacts dozens of countries – including Somalia, Haiti, Iran, and Eritrea – whose immigrants often become public charges on the United States upon arrival."
