Under Trump, Only White People Wanted

The white supremacist U.S. State Department has announced a temporary halt on immigrant visa processing for applicants from 75 countries.

Effective January 21, 2026, the U.S. State Department suspended immigrant visa processing for applicants from 75 countries. This sweeping policy change affects more than half the world’s nations and creates immediate uncertainty for thousands of families, workers, and immigrants pursuing their American dream.

Who Is Impacted?

The visa processing halt affects applicants from: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belize, Bhutan, Bosnia, Brazil, Burma, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Colombia, Cote d’Ivoire, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Dominica, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Fiji, Gambia, Georgia, Ghana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guinea, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Jamaica, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Nepal, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan, Republic of the Congo, Russia, Rwanda, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Thailand, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, and Yemen.

If you or a loved one is from one of these countries, your immigration case needs immediate attention.

Why This Pause?

The administration cites reassessment of public charge rules, determining whether applicants might require government financial or healthcare assistance. However, the scope and timing of this directive raise serious questions about fairness, due process, and discriminatory impact on specific national origin groups.

What This Means for You

• Visa decisions are paused indefinitely starting January 21, 2026

• Processing delays are expected even after the pause lifts

• Your timeline is now uncertain – employment, family reunification, and educational plans are at risk

• Alternative legal strategies may be available but require immediate action
