Nigeria affected as U.S pauses visa processing for 75 countries

News Update

Visa applicants from Nigeria, Somalia, and Russia will now face fresh uncertainty as the United States has halted visa processing for 75 nations pending a review of its immigration screening rules.

The pause, ordered by the US State Department, is tied to stricter enforcement of the “public charge” provision of immigration law, which allows consular officers to deny visas to applicants deemed likely to depend on public welfare programmes.

According to Fox News, the State Department will halt visa processing for nationals of Somalia, Russia, Afghanistan, Brazil, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Nigeria, Thailand, Yemen, and others.
