Additionally, the State Department confirmed it was taking action to prevent further issuance of U.S. visas in order to prevent entry into the United States of South Sudanese passport holders. All visa interviews are canceled, and the Consular Section will not accept any diplomatic or official visa applications until further notice.
The State Department cites the government of South Sudan’s refusal to accept repatriation of its nationals from the United States as the reason for the revocation and restriction actions.
