Visa refusals increased in 2018 due to administration policies, causing the number of immigrant and temporary visas issued to decline.
What do you think is the impact of this increase in public charge denials?These denials are for immigrant visa applicants and primarily impacted family immigration cases, leading to separations of family members . It should be noted that this “public charge” ineligibility is for persons “likely to become a public charge,” and is not for having actually received public benefits .
The Trump administration in response is working on even more restrictive policies, such as the proposed public charge regulation. While President Trump has been frustrated in his attempt to build a physical wall with Mexico, his administration has been more quietly putting up this “invisible wall” – bureaucratic rather than physical barriers that delay or deny the admission of tens of thousands of people, only a few of whom constitute any real threat to U.S. interests.
