We recall that according to world media reports, the administration led by Donald Trump is suspending all visa processing for applicants from 75 countries, a State Department spokesperson said on Wednesday.
The spokesman did not provide details on the plan, which was first reported by Fox News, which cited a State Department memo.
The “pause” will begin on January 21, Fox News said.
The document instructs US embassies to deny visas under existing law while the department reevaluates its procedures.
The reported pause comes amid the broad immigration crackdown pursued by Republican US President Donald Trump since taking office last January.
In November, Trump vowed to “permanently halt” immigration from all “Third World Countries” after a shooting near the White House by an Afghan national who killed a National Guard member. /Telegraph
