US Suspends All Visa Issuance for Afghan Citizens After Washington Shooting

The United States has halted all visa issuance for Afghan passport holders after Rahmanullah Lakanwal—who arrived under the 2021 Operation Allies Welcome programme—shot and killed a National Guard soldier near the White House. The FBI is investigating the incident as a possible act of terrorism, prompting an immediate freeze on Afghan visa processing.
