The Embassy of the United States of America in Kathmandu has said that Nepal Communist Party members were not barred from entering the US.
Each visa case is adjudicated on an individual basis, said the embassy in a statement on Tuesday.
Expressing concerns over the media reports carrying information about the US visas, it clarified that no change was made in its visa policy.
Earlier, the local newspapers published news that the US was barring entry of members of the communist parties in its territory.
“We are concerned that a few news stories have published misleading information about U.S. visas. We’d like to clarify that there has been no change to our policy, or to our decades-old law regarding members of communist parties or totalitarian regimes who are traveling or immigrating to the United States,” it said in a statement.
U.S. Citizens and Immigration Services (USCIS) had recently issued administrative guidance – essentially an instruction manual – to USCIS officers for the immigration applications of people already within the United States. However, the mission said, news about this administrative guidance has caused confusion.
