The United States has paused processing all immigration requests from Afghan nationals after an incident where an Afghan man was named as the suspect responsible for shooting two members of the National Guard.
Authorities identified the suspect linked to the shooting, which has prompted the suspension as officials assess the situation.
"The decision to suspend is a precautionary step while we conduct a thorough review of the circumstances," government officials stated.
This action affects all Afghan immigration applications currently underway, delaying the pending processes until further notice.
