US Suspends Green Card Applications from Nigeria and Other Countries

The US has suspended green card and citizenship applications from multiple countries, including Nigeria, due to security considerations and ongoing immigration screening reviews. This move, driven by national security concerns, follows a directive from the Trump administration to tighten entry rules.

The affected countries face partial travel restrictions or bans, with Nigeria being among the 15 nations impacted. The suspension means affected applications cannot proceed until further security assessments are completed, causing potential delays.

The decision marks a significant escalation in immigration scrutiny.
