flag The U.S. is suspending immigrant visas for 75 countries starting Jan. 21, 2026, over public charge concerns.

flag The U.S. State Department has suspended immigrant visa processing for nationals from 75 countries, effective January 21, 2026, citing concerns that applicants may become public charges. flag The move, part of a broader Trump administration effort to prioritize economic self-sufficiency, affects family- and employment-based visas but not nonimmigrant visas like tourist or business visas. flag Countries impacted include Afghanistan, Iran, Russia, Somalia, Nigeria, and Brazil, among others, though the full list was not released. flag The policy, implemented under a November directive, has no set end date, and affected applicants are advised to monitor official channels. flag The decision has drawn criticism from advocacy groups over its potential impact on vulnerable populations and family reunification.
