US halts all visa interviews globally
The United States has announced the suspension and rescheduling of immigration visa interviews at its embassies and consulates around the world, in order to enable staff to evaluate applications uniformly according to the "public charge" rule, which allows visa refusals if the applicant relies on government assistance within the United States. This measure follows a judicial decision invalidating a policy that was delaying visa issuance for citizens of 75 countries. It was implemented through a global training program focusing on comprehensive application assessments, without specifying the duration of the implementation or the number of affected individuals. The move aims to organize the visa issuance process more transparently, though its impact on tourist, student, or other types of visas remains unclear at this time.
