US Halts Green Card and Citizenship Applications for Nigerians, Sparking Criticism
The US has temporarily stopped green card and citizenship applications for Nigerians, part of broader immigration restrictions affecting several countries. This move has created uncertainty for Nigerians living in the US and those awaiting decisions on their applications.
The decision is linked to a security review of the immigration system. The freeze on asylum decisions and certain visa requests for specific nations is part of a wider immigration clampdown.
The action has sparked criticism for its perceived unfairness and potential economic and social impacts on Nigerians in the US.
