US Tightens Visa Rules, Asylum Seekers Face Restrictions

According to latest reports in May 2026, the United States has introduced major and stricter changes in its visa and immigration policies, significantly impacting asylum seekers.

Under the Donald Trump administration, the asylum process has been shifted from border entry points directly to embassies, where applicants now face strict scrutiny during visa interviews.

These changes have made the asylum process more difficult, effectively closing pathways for many applicants seeking refuge in the United States.
