The US has halted visa appointments globally as President Donald Trump escalates his immigration crackdown during his second term, according to Reuters. The State Department has initiated a worldwide training program for all US embassies and consulates, which will adjust visa service appointments accordingly. Applicants with scheduled interviews have received cancellation emails, informing them of rescheduled dates.
The administration plans to revoke up to 200,000 visas held by asylum seekers. The State Department emphasizes that the training aims to ensure applicants are not likely to become public charges or dependent on US public benefits. This move is part of the Trump administration's intensified immigration enforcement, which includes stricter scrutiny of visa and green-card applicants, aggressive deportation efforts, and changes to refugee admissions.
