The US Department of State is implementing new measures aimed at strengthening consular screening of visa applicants.

The administration of US President Donald Trump has temporarily introduced changes to the procedure for conducting consular interviews for obtaining US visas in various countries around the world. The new measures are reportedly related to global consular training and efforts to strengthen the screening of visa applicants.

According to the information available, the US Department of State has launched a special global training programme for embassies and consulates in different parts of the world. In this regard, the processing of visa applications and the conducting of consular interviews will be organised under the new procedure.

Some applicants who had previously scheduled appointments for interviews received notifications by email informing them that their appointments had been cancelled. It was also announced that additional information about the new date and time of the interview would be provided later.

These measures are being taken as part of the current US administration’s policy to strengthen migration and visa controls. The new approach includes more thorough screening of people applying for visas and residence permits, as well as a review of rules related to the admission of refugees.

Therefore, foreign nationals wishing to obtain a US visa are advised to pay close attention to new information provided by US diplomatic and consular missions and to regularly check notifications regarding the date and time of their interviews.
