The U.S. Department of State has announced a suspension of visa issuance to certain foreign nationals to enhance national security and protect public safety. Effective January 1, 2026, Presidential Proclamation 10998 introduces restrictions on entry for foreign nationals deemed a potential threat.
This measure aims to prevent individuals linked to terrorism or other security risks from entering the United States. The suspension affects specific visa categories, and applicants are advised to check official State Department updates before applying.
While routine visa services continue for most applicants, those impacted by this proclamation may face delays or temporary restrictions. Travelers and prospective students should monitor official announcements and plan accordingly.
