USCIS Stops All Afghan Immigration Processing

In a decisive move, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has ceased all processing of immigration applications originating from Afghanistan. This suspension is effective immediately and has no set end date. The agency reiterated its core mission: ensuring the safety and security of the United States. This policy change reflects a heightened national security posture, particularly in light of recent events and statements from the President concerning individuals entering the country.
