Citizens of Muslim countries whose visa applications were rejected can re-submit
Washington … News Time
In the United States, President Joe Biden’s administration offered visas to Muslim countries. The State Department has announced that citizens of Muslim countries whose visa applications were rejected under former President Donald Trump may re-submit them. President-elect Joe Biden took the oath of office on January 20, announcing that Trump would lift travel bans. In his order, he called Trump’s travel bans a stain on America’s national conscience. According to Foreign Ministry spokesman Ned Price, those whose visa applications were rejected before January 20, 2021, will have to pay a new fee along with new applications. According to State Department figures, 40,000 people have been barred from entering the United States since December 2017. Former President Donald Trump imposed travel bans on 13 countries, including Myanmar, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Libya, Nigeria, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Venezuela and Yemen.
On the other hand, the US government has announced the legalization of the temporary protection granted to millions of Venezuelan immigrants. Homeland Security Secretary Mayurkas said the South American country was not in a position to protect its citizens. The Washington administration estimates that the number of immigrants applying for residency in the United States could be as high as 320,000. Venezuelans can also be issued work permits in the United States with temporary protection, initially for 18 months.
