US Suspends Visa Processing for Nigeria and 72 Other Countries

The US has indefinitely suspended visa processing for Nigeria, Somalia, Yemen, and 72 other countries, including Russia, Afghanistan, Brazil, Iran, and Iraq. This move is part of a sweeping immigration review order by President Donald Trump.

The decision aims to allow a reassessment of immigration screening procedures to prevent the entry of foreign nationals who may become a public burden. The suspension is expected to impact thousands of visa applications, including those for tourism, student, and business travel.
