U.S. Suspends Afghan Immigration Processing Following Security Incident

The United States has halted all immigration processing for Afghan nationals. The decision is a direct response to a recent incident where two National Guard members were shot. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced the suspension. "Effective immediately, processing of all immigration requests relating to Afghan nationals is stopped indefinitely," the agency stated. This action freezes applications from Afghans seeking to immigrate to the United States. Officials have not provided a timeline for when the process might resume.
