The United States has announced a major pause on immigrant visas for nationals of 75 countries, including Pakistan and Bangladesh. The decision, which takes effect from January 21, 2026, is part of a policy review ordered by Donald Trump. Washington says the move is aimed at preventing misuse of public welfare and ensuring immigrants are financially self-sufficient. While applications and interviews will continue, no new immigrant visas will be issued during the pause. Officials stress that the restriction does not affect tourist or business visas, but signals tougher scrutiny of permanent immigration pathways.
