The number of US nonimmigrant visas issued to people around the world increased by almost 5% in March compared to the monthly average in 2016. At the same time, the United States issued 40% less visas to 7 citizens of countries to which President Donald Trump was originally going to impose a temporary ban on entry into the country. This is evidenced by the analysis Reutersbased on preliminary government data.

Citizens of 7 Muslim countries — Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen — received 3200 nonimmigrant visas in March 2017, compared with the average monthly number of 5 700 visas in 2016 and more than 6000 in 2015 and 2014.

The State Department released the data following Trump's order requiring the release of monthly visa issuance reports around the world. It is worth noting that there is no information on the total number of all types of visas, so it is unclear whether fewer non-immigrant visas are being issued to citizens of the 7 Muslim countries due to refusals or other factors - a decrease in applicants or an increase in application processing time.

The representative of the State Department noted that visa requirements are cyclical and variable over the course of the year. They depend on various factors, both locally and internationally.
The number of visas issued, as a rule, increases during the tourist season - in summer and in winter. These are preliminary, and the numbers may vary slightly, the State Department said in a statement.

Immigration lawyers believe that, despite blocking Trump's migration decrees, the presidential administration more tightly controls applicants for visas through consulates and embassies. This was confirmed by several American lawyers who lead Iranian clients. They claim that visa applications are processed longer and are denied more often.

Donald Trump's decree, which temporarily froze the entry into the United States of citizens of 6 Muslim states - Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen, was signed March, 6. Iraqi citizens were not included in the new list of restrictions, given the country's leading role in the fight against the Islamic State. Already on March 15, Trump’s decree was blocked by a decision of two courts. The president called the courts' decision "an unprecedented abuse of judicial power."
