US Suspends Legal Immigration Applications and Citizenship for Nigerians and Others

The United States has halted legal immigration applications and citizenship for Nigerians and other nationals, following a broader crackdown on legal immigration by the Trump administration. The suspension affects certain African and Asian countries, including Nigeria, Afghanistan, and others.

The move includes a freeze on immigration petitions for American citizenship and permanent residency. This decision comes amidst ongoing travel bans and restrictions imposed by the US government, affecting a total of 39 countries.
