The restriction will apply to 75 countries
Citizens of Kyrgyzstan have been included in the list of countries for which the U.S. will temporarily suspend the issuance of immigration visas, reports Fox News, citing information from the State Department.
According to the channel's data, this decision will take effect on January 21. The duration of the restriction has not been established, and it will remain in effect until the State Department completes its reassessment of the visa application process.
This measure is due to the tightening of immigration rules and the need for additional checks, as well as the desire to reduce social burden.
The criteria that will be considered during the checks include health, age, English language proficiency, financial status, and the likelihood of needing long-term medical assistance, as reported by Fox News.
