The United States will cancel all visas for South Sudanese citizens due to the country's refusal to cooperate on the issue of repatriating its citizens, according to the US government.
The United States has decided to revoke all visas issued to holders of South Sudanese passports and impose restrictions on issuing new ones. This decision by Washington aims to ensure compliance with immigration laws and the national security of the country.
The US Department of State emphasized that the transitional government of South Sudan is failing to fulfill its obligations to accept its citizens, preventing their deportation from the United States.
To prevent the entry of South Sudanese citizens into the country, the United States is taking steps to limit the further issuance of visas.
If the government of South Sudan shows willingness to fully cooperate, the US may reconsider its actions. However, the situation regarding immigration policy remains tense for now.
It is worth noting that at the end of last month, US President Donald Trump proposed replacing the visa program for foreign investors with a so-called "golden card."
At the time, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website noted that the EB-5 immigrant investor program, managed by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services, was created by Congress in 1990 to stimulate the US economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik stated that the EB-5 program was full of nonsense, fabrications, and fraud, and that it was a way to get a green card at a low price.
