Trump enforces stricter immigration policies causing global visa appointment delays
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump announced the suspension of visa interview appointments for travelers worldwide, as part of its efforts to tighten immigration policies during his second term. This step followed the launch of a new training program by the U.S. Department of State for embassy and consulate staff, aimed at improving the assessment of visa applications and excluding potential applicants who might rely on public assistance in the United States. Consequently, previously scheduled visa appointments were rescheduled as part of a broader campaign to limit immigration flows, which also includes legal measures and deportations. This approach faces legal challenges; a U.S. judge recently overturned a policy that restricted issuing visas to applicants from 75 countries, deeming it an overreach of the State Department's authority.
