Effective June 9, a travel prohibition bans individuals from 12 specific nations from accessing the territory of the United States.
Individuals from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen are restricted from entering the US, as the Trump administration intensifies its crackdown on immigration, as reported by VisaGuide.World.
Nonetheless, officials have made it clear that this new travel prohibition will not cancel previously granted visas for nationals of these nations.
The latest proclamation, recently signed by President Trump, additionally incorporates heightened restrictions on the movement of nationals from the aforementioned seven countries – namely Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen.
Citizens of the Affected Nations Will Find It Difficult to Acquire a US Visa
Citizens from these nations will undergo a more rigorous procedure when applying for a US visa, particularly those who are outside the US without a valid visa.
Visa applications submitted by these citizens will be subjected to thorough scrutiny, and unless an applicant fulfills very specific requirements for an exemption, it is more probable that their application will be declined.
According to various immigration specialists, the revised travel ban is a more advanced incarnation of a directive that was initiated during Trump's initial term and primarily impacted Muslim-majority nations. The same analysts pointed out that the new restrictions focus on the visa application procedure.
This initiative is not aimed at national security – it aims to create division and demonize communities striving for safety and opportunities in the United States.
Trump’s administration has adopted one of the most stringent stances on immigration, with further restrictions likely to follow as the government is committed to tackling unauthorized migration.
Many Americans Are Significantly Displeased With Trump's Presidency
Since the November elections, online searches by Americans have increasingly centered around “Trumpism,” mental wellness, and feelings of discontent regarding their newly elected President.
Furthermore, research indicated a remarkable 1,514 percent uptick in Americans exploring options to relocate abroad, particularly seeking a fresh start, especially in Europe.
This sentiment has resonated with numerous well-known individuals, including celebrities relocating overseas following Trump's election, with Ellen DeGeneres being one of them.
