Us impose ban over Indian travel agency: Taking a major step on Monday (May 19), the US has announced a visa ban on owners, officials and senior management of travel agencies working in India. This ban will apply to those who have been found to promote illegal immigration and human trafficking in the US. The US State Department said in an official statement, “Our immigration policy is not just to warn potential migrants from danger, but to eliminate the network that sponsors and operate this process.”

Consular and diplomatic security services officers appointed at the US Embassy and Consulate in India were long monitoring illegal immigration and human trafficking activities. Now it has been clear under his supervision that some travel agencies in India are deliberately promoting illegal stay in the US through false documents, illegal advice, and visa fraud.

What type of ban is imposed?
The State Department clarified that this visa ban is part of the global policy. This means that this policy is not limited to India only. This also applies to those who can travel to America under Visa Waver Program. Those who violate the rules will not be allowed to enter the US. However, the US embassy in New Delhi has refused to share the names of those agencies and individuals under the privacy policy.

America’s purpose
The US State Department says that strict implementation of immigration laws is necessary to protect our nation’s security and legal process. The main objectives behind this policy are to make the public aware of the dangers of illegal immigration, demolish the human trafficking network and strengthen the credibility of the migration system.
