The Trump Administration is stopping Immigration Visas for people from 75 countries
In a move that’s getting everyone talking, the Trump administration said it’s pausing immigration visas for folks from 75 countries, including Pakistan, Iran, and Somalia. This is a pretty big deal and shows they’re really cracking down on people moving to the U.S. for good.
News says the reason is that people from these countries are more likely to need help from the government once they’re in America. This goes into effect on January 21, so it’s happening fast.

Why These Countries?
The Trump administration says it looked at which countries’ citizens are likely to be able to support themselves. They think these countries have more people who might need government help, like health care or welfare.
Washington thinks this will that people coming to America can take care of themselves and won’t cost U.S. taxpayers extra. But some say this is too simple and doesn’t consider how tough things can be in countries like Pakistan.
What’s Covered, What’s Not
It’s key to know that this Trump immigration visa stop doesn’t hit everyone. It’s just for immigrant visas, which are for people who want to live in the U.S. permanently.
If you’re applying for a non-immigrant visa, like:
- Tourist visas
- Business visas
- Short trips
Then you’re fine. This is good news for people who travel back and forth for work or fun.
How This Hits Pakistan
This is tough news for Pakistan. Lots of families are waiting to be together, professionals want to work there long-term, and people just want to settle down. Now, they’re not sure what’s going to happen.
The U.S. has always been a popular spot for Pakistanis because of schools, jobs, and family. This could mess up a lot of plans, and people might have to look somewhere else.
What Others Are Saying
People have different views on this. Some in the U.S. are happy that the administration is being strict about immigration, saying it’s needed to protect the country’s money.
But others say it makes whole countries look bad and ignores what immigrants bring to the U.S. economy. Some think it could hurt relationships with other countries and make the U.S. seem closed off.
There could be legal problems or changes
This starts on January 21, but some experts think there could be legal problems or changes. The Trump administration has been taken to court before over immigration, so this could happen again.
For now, if you’re affected, keep an eye on official U.S. immigration websites and trusted news sources.
Stopping immigration visas for 75 countries is a big moment for U.S. immigration. For countries like Pakistan, it shows how unsure things are when it comes to moving around the world. We’ll have to wait and see what happens and what it means for everyone.
