The Trump administration has ordered US embassies worldwide to enforce stricter visa screening under the “public charge” rule. This rule allows officials to deny visas or green cards to applicants who might depend on US government aid. The order expands checks on factors such as health, finances, and English skills. Even past use of public benefits can lead to visa rejection. Reports say medical conditions like diabetes or obesity may also affect approvals. The rule revives Trump’s earlier immigration policies, rolled back during Joe Biden’s term, and marks a major shift in global US visa screening. (PC: HT)
