Why your visa to enter USA might be cancelled as people report issues with it
The Trump administration’s stringent immigration policies are significantly impacting tourism and immigration. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a ban on permanent immigration from 75 countries, effective January 21.
This follows an expansion of travel restrictions targeting nations deemed security risks. The “America First” approach has also led to the revocation of over 100,000 visas in the past year, including those for students.
Tourists from traditionally allied countries are facing new hurdles. Visitors from the UK, Australia, and Japan report having their ESTA travel authorizations unexpectedly revoked.
Some individuals received denials without clear explanation. Online forums contain accounts of travelers being barred after routine trips or visits to other countries like Cuba.
The new policy suspends immigrant visa processing for the listed nations. Officials state this is to reassess vetting procedures and prevent the abuse of American generosity.
The list includes countries across multiple continents, such as Brazil, Cuba, Egypt, Iran, and Russia. The administration argues this is necessary for national security.
These measures represent a major escalation from earlier travel bans. They reflect the administration’s continued commitment to restricting both permanent and temporary entry into the United States.
