Published December 9, 2015 At present there are 38 countries whose citizens are generally relieved of the requirement of obtaining a visa to visit the U.S. for up to 90 days.

Donald Trump once again followed this recipe for gaining attention and maintaining, if not growing, his popularity by suggesting that the U.S. should ban entry of all Muslims. What? Yes, just when you think it could not get any crazier, Donald Trump suggested a measure that would […]

published October 2, 2015 The generous new provisions included in the most recent U.S. Department of State Visa Bulletin, per President Obama’s previous Executive Order, have been rolled back a bit.
