The New US Visa Ban, What It Means To Nigerians by viktohmoses(m): 10:59am On Feb 01, 2020
The United State of America under President Donald Trump just announced on Friday that immigrants from seven more countries will be restricted from it visa entry.

Countries affected in the new list includes; Nigeria, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Eritrea, Sudan and Tanzania.

The new restriction comes three years after Donald Trump travel ban was first announced, which barred people from several Muslim-majority nations from entering the U.S.

What this means is that it will not place travel ban for those coming to the U.S, but Nigerians and the other countries will be restricted from permanent immigration visas, which include some family and employer-sponsored visas, as well as the diversity visa lottery.

It also does not affect visas given to people travelling to the U.S. for temporary stay such as tourists, businessmen and women, medical treatment.

Sudanese nationals and Tanzanians will only be excluded from the diversity visa lottery and the restrictions will be effective by February 22.

The administration says the ban is necessary to protect the U.S against potential acts of terrorism.
