The US on Wednesday announced an indefinite suspension of processing immigrant visas for people from 75 countries, in an escalation of the Trump\u2019s administration\u2019s crackdown on immigration.<\/p>\n

The move, which will come into effect on January 21, applies to people seeking to live and work permanently in the US. Dual nationals with a passport of a country not affected by the ban are exempt, according to the State Department.<\/p>\n

Department spokesperson\u00a0Tommy Pigott said the move was\u00a0designed to end \u201cthe abuse of America\u2019s immigration system by those who would extract wealth from the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n
