The United States has announced a major immigration action that will impact green card applicants worldwide.

In this Immigration USA update, we explain the U.S. government’s decision to suspend immigrant visa processing for applicants from 75 countries due to concerns related to public assistance, also known as the public charge rule.

This suspension applies to immigrant visas only, including family-based, employment-based, and Diversity Visa (DV Lottery) categories processed at U.S. embassies and consulates abroad.
Non-immigrant visas such as tourist, student, and temporary work visas are not included.
