Ghana’s Ambassador to the US, Emmanuel Victor Smith, has clarified that the United States’ temporary suspension of immigrant visa processing does not apply to non-immigrant visas for Ghanaians, including those for business and tourism.
The clarification comes amid growing concern among prospective travellers following an announcement by the US government that it would pause immigrant visa processing for nationals of 75 countries, including Ghana and Nigeria.
Ambassador Smith said the measure does not affect B1–B2 visas, which remain fully operational.
