United States ne apne travel visa program ke zariye ek nayi policy introduce ki hai jiska asar ab Japan, India, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Pakistan, Bangladesh aur kai doosre Asian mulkon ke travelers par bhi parega. Is nayi policy ke tahat US ne visa processing aur entry-related services par naye service charges aur verification fees implement karne ka faisla kiya hai, jiska maqsad global security standards ko mazboot banana aur immigration system ko modernize karna bataya gaya hai.
Reports ke mutabiq, yeh new charges 2025 ke shuru mein lagu honge aur inka ta’alluq un sab applicants se hoga jo non-immigrant visa categories (jaise B1/B2 business aur tourist visas) ke liye apply karte hain. US Department of State ke officials ka kehna hai ke naye measures se travel documents ki digital verification aur background checks zyada accurate banenge.
Asian countries, jin mein Pakistan aur Japan bhi shamil hain, ne is policy par apni concern zahir ki hai ke naye fees se travel aur education exchange par asar par sakta hai, khaaskar un students aur professionals par jo short-term US visits karte hain. Iske bawajood, experts ka kehna hai ke yeh step America ke anti-fraud aur security framework ka hissa hai jisse illegal immigration aur fake documentation ko rokne mein madad milegi.
Sources ke mutabiq, naye visa fee structure ke details har country ke embassy websites par publish kiye jayenge, jabke kuch categories mein biometric verification aur document attestation bhi mandatory ki ja sakti hai. Governments of Japan, India, and Pakistan ne kaha hai ke wo is policy ke economic impact ka review kar rahi hain aur applicants ko updated information ke liye regularly embassy portals check karne ki salah di hai.
Yeh development un travelers ke liye khas taur par important hai jo 2025 ke mid tak US jaane ka plan bana rahe hain, kyunke naye processing rules unke application cost aur approval timeline dono ko affect kar sakte hain.
