U.S. Immigrant Visa Processing Suspension for 75 Countries! Is immigration policy quietly tightening? Sylvia Tsai, Esq.

Immigration visa (green card) applications from 75 countries have been suspended, targeting those countries deemed to have low deportation cooperation or pose a "public burden" risk. These countries include Afghanistan, Brazil, Russia, Thailand, Nigeria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, and Somalia.

The escalating international situation starting in 2026 has led to renewed attention to US immigration and visa policies, bringing the issue back into discussion. The large-scale welfare fraud case in Minnesota—the Feeding Our Future fraud case—has prompted the government to place greater emphasis on reviewing application documents and addressing systemic risks, indirectly influencing subsequent policy directions.

So here's the question:

👉 What exactly is this so-called "75-country restriction"?

👉 Does this really affect all immigration categories?

👉 In the current international situation, has censorship become more stringent?
