The United States Department of the USA has announced that from September 6, all visa applicants who plan to obtain a nonimmigrant entry permit must apply through their home country; If they use another state for this, the risk of visa refusal increases. Relocators who have been living in another country for a long time can apply for a visa from there, but only if they can confirm their residence in the other country.
The American government explains such changes by the fact that earlier in some states there was an excessive queue at US embassies and consulates, since citizens of neighboring countries used them to speed up the application process. According to the authorities, students most often resorted to this method.
The public perceived the next initiative of the presidential administration with caution. Due to the new rules, problems may arise for applicants in those countries where there are always long queues for an interview at the American embassy - for example, in Nigeria, applicants have to stand on the waiting list for 14 months.
How critical the consequences of the innovations will be will be shown by the new academic season, during which future American students will begin to apply for admission and visas.
