The Trump administration resumes processing immigrant visas for Hungary and Poland, while the suspension remains in effect in other countries

The administration of President Donald Trump resumed processing immigrant visa applications last week at US diplomatic missions in Hungary and Poland, while the suspension of appointments continues in numerous other countries, according to sources cited by Reuters.

The decision to prioritize the two countries was reportedly made directly by the White House. Washington has not explained the reason for the differing treatment, but the Trump administration has close ties with conservative and nationalist politicians in Hungary and Poland. The State Department said appointments are being adjusted in line with a new training program for consular staff.

In January, the United States temporarily suspended immigrant visa processing for applicants from 75 countries, citing the risk that they could become a burden on public finances. After a federal judge called the policy “plainly illegal,” the State Department suspended interviews worldwide and announced additional training for consular officers.

The US government says the interviews were initially rescheduled until August 31, but the suspension could last months. In 2024, the US issued approximately 600,000 immigrant visas, and the cancellations affected applicants from Latin America, the Balkans, South Asia and other regions.᠎*","slug":"us-resumes-immigrant-visa-processing-hungary-poland"}👌 天天中彩票不能买 geschniegelt?
