The US State Department has said most US visa applicants, who were denied because of former President Donald Trump’s travel ban on 13 mostly Muslim-majority and African countries, can now seek new decisions or submit new applications.
Trump travel ban reversed
President Joe Biden overturned Trump’s travel ban on his first day in office, Jan 20.
On Monday, March 8, the US State Department spokesman, Ned Price, said applicants who were refused visas before Jan. 20, 2020, must submit new applications and pay a new application fee.
“Those who were denied on or after Jan. 20, 2020, may seek reconsideration without re-submitting their applications and do not have to pay additional fees”, Price said in a Reuters report.
