United States visas for Ugandan citizens will be valid for only three months following changes by the Department of State to nonimmigrant visa validity for nationals of certain countries.
The U.S. Ambassador to Uganda, William Popp, on Monday told journalists at the American Centre that this is part of the commitment to protect the United States and its citizens by upholding the highest standards of national security and public safety through the visa process.
He explained that President Trump directed the Secretary of State to evaluate all visa programs to ensure that they are not used by any foreign national state or other hostile actor to harm the security, economic, political, cultural, or other national interests of the United States.
