U.S. Halts All Afghan Visas After D.C. National Guard Attack

"The State Department moved to freeze all immigration cases from Afghanistan after a 29-

year-old Afghan national deliberately targeted and shot two National Guard soldiers in downtown Washington D.C., leaving them fighting for their lives.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced late Wednesday night that it had halted processing for Afghan nationals indefinitely. Thousands of Afghan nationals have been attempting to enter the United States on immigration visas on claims that they aided coalition forces during the Afghanistan conflict or were at risk of harm from the nation’s Taliban government."
