According to a report by Fox News on the 14th, the U.S. Department of State will suspend the processing of all visa applications from 75 countries starting on the 21st of this month. The move is intended to curb applicants deemed likely to become a “public charge,” and the suspension will remain in effect until the U.S. government completes a comprehensive review of the visa adjudication process.

据美国福克斯新闻14日报道，美国国务院将于本月21日起暂停办理75个国家的所有签证。此举旨在打击被认定可能成为“公共负担”的签证申请人，相关暂停措施将持续至美国政府完成对签证审批流程的重新评估。

According to an internal memorandum issued by the Department of State, consular officers will, during the review period, deny visas based on existing law. The affected countries reportedly include Somalia, Russia, Afghanistan, Brazil, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Nigeria, Thailand, Yemen, and others. Applicants from these countries will be subject to stricter scrutiny across multiple dimensions, including health conditions, age, English proficiency, financial capacity, and anticipated future medical needs.

根据美国国务院发布的备忘录，领事官员在重新评估期间将依据现有法律拒绝发放签证。受影响国家包括索马里、俄罗斯、阿富汗、巴西、伊朗、伊拉克、埃及、尼日利亚、泰国、也门等。这些国家的签证申请人将面临更严格的审查标准，涵盖健康状况、年龄、英语水平、经济财力及未来医疗需求等多个维度。



This policy adjustment aligns with the immigration control measures implemented after the Trump administration returned to power in January 2025. As early as November 2025, the Department of State instructed consular officers to apply comprehensive screening standards under the “public charge” provision. Although this clause has existed for decades, its enforcement has varied significantly across administrations. The current tightening represents a substantial escalation in review standards.

此次政策调整与特朗普政府2025年1月再度执政后实施的移民管控措施一脉相承。2025年11月，美国国务院已指示领事官员依据“公共负担”条款执行全面筛查规定。该条款虽存在数十年，但历届政府执行力度差异显著，此次政策收紧标志着审查标准的实质性升级。

Notably, the suspension affects both immigrant and non-immigrant visas. In a statement posted on social media, the Department of State claimed that immigrants from these countries receive U.S. public benefits at an “unacceptably high rate.” Data show that since President Trump returned to the White House in January 2025, the federal government has revoked more than 100,000 visas, a record high.

值得关注的是，此次暂停措施涉及移民签证与非移民签证的全面收紧。美国国务院通过社交媒体账号声明，这些国家的移民“以不可接受的比例在美国领取福利”。数据显示，自特朗普2025年1月重新入主白宫以来，联邦政府已撤销超过10万份签证，创下历史新高。



Embassies of the affected countries are urgently seeking confirmation as to whether they are included on the list, with some diplomatic missions in Washington stating that they received no prior notice from the U.S. side. Analysts warn that the move could have far-reaching consequences for global talent mobility, international trade, and diplomatic relations.

受影响国家大使馆正紧急确认本国是否在名单之列，部分国家驻华盛顿使馆表示未获美方提前通知。分析人士指出，此举或对全球人才流动、国际贸易及国际关系产生深远影响。

An executive proclamation signed in December 2025 expanded the list of countries subject to full or partial entry restrictions from 19 to 40. The current suspension affecting 75 countries can be seen as a further extension of this policy. The Department of State emphasized that it will exercise its long-standing authority to deem potential immigrants who may become public charges as ineligible.

2025年12月签署的公告已将全面和部分入境限制国家从19个扩至40个，此次75国签证暂停可视作该政策的进一步延伸。美国国务院强调，将行使长期授权，把可能成为公共负担的潜在移民视为不符合资格。
