US to make visa bond requirements permanent, affecting mostly African countries
The U.S. State Department is making permanent a visa bond program requiring citizens from 50 mainly African countries to post up to $20,000 for B1/B2 visas, aiming to reduce overstays. The program, initiated by the Trump administration, led to an 83% drop in such visas but faces criticism for burdening applicants from impoverished nations.
