Recent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have led to the temporary suspension of U.S. visa processing at embassies and consulates in Pakistan, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. This decision is a response to increased security concerns stemming from the ongoing conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States.
Key Details:
- Visa services suspended in: Pakistan, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia.
