EE.UU. suspende visas de inmigrantes mientras revoca visas B-1/B-2

Según NBC News, el Departamento de Estado de EE. UU. detuvo el procesamiento de todas las solicitudes de visas de inmigrante el 27 de agosto, mientras los funcionarios consulares completan la capacitación sobre la regla de carga pública. El organismo indicó que la pausa se mantendrá hasta mediados de septiembre.

Esta acción se produce después de otras medidas de la administración para endurecer la política migratoria. A principios de agosto, el Departamento de Estado anunció la revocación progresiva de hasta 200 000 visas B-1 y B-2 emitidas entre 2016 y 2026 a personas que posteriormente presentaron solicitudes de asilo, una medida que, según varios medios, podría afectar a cientos de miles de visas. Antes de la suspensión del 27 de agosto, la agencia ya había detenido las entrevistas de visas de inmigrante para permitir la capacitación del personal consular, según informaron The Guardian y Fox News.
