world 🇺🇸 US resumes visas for 75 countries after court ruling
The US has lifted the pause on issuing immigrant visas for 75 nations after a federal court overturned the policy. This decision was made by Judge Jeannette Vargas of the Southern District of New York on August 21. The original pause, which started in January 2026, targeted applicants potentially reliant on public benefits. Now, visa issuance can resume for these countries, but the worldwide interview pause remains in effect. India was not on the list affected by this specific 75-country rule. 🗽
