Trump suspends immigrant visas for 75 countries: Who’s affected?
AI Summary
On January 21, 2026, the United States will suspend processing of immigrant visas for applicants from 75 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean, the Balkans, South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The State Department has instructed US consulates to halt processing applications from these countries while reassessing procedures to prevent immigrants who might become a financial burden. While applications can still be submitted, no visas will be approved during the pause. The suspension does not affect non-immigrant, temporary, tourist, or business visas, nor does it apply to dual nationals using a passport from a non-affected country. This action follows broader efforts by the Trump administration to tighten immigration rules.
