US Resumes Immigrant Visa Processing for Hungary and Poland
The United States administration has resumed immigrant visa processing for citizens of Hungary and Poland.

Meanwhile, a federal court in Manhattan has cancelled a Trump ban affecting immigrant visas for citizens from 75 countries and has voided prior rejections. Legal developments surrounding these visa restrictions continue to unfold globally, affecting various nationalities differently as courts address administrative suspensions.

The Department of State previously imposed a worldwide pause on immigrant visa processing. Exemptions or resumptions for specific nations like Hungary and Poland indicate shifting enforcement while broader challenges proceed through the courts.
