The United States has implemented new measures that require visa applicants to affirm that they do not fear persecution in their home countries. This policy aims to deter potential asylum seekers from utilizing non-immigrant visas as a pathway to claim asylum upon arrival in the U.S. The initiative reflects the Trump administration's broader strategy to tighten immigration controls and manage the asylum process more stringently. A diplomatic notice outlining these changes has been disseminated to relevant stakeholders.
