 U.S Finalizes $20,000 Visa Bond Policy Affecting Nigeria and 49 Other Nations The United States government has officially formalized its visa bond policy, making it a permanent measure that could require travelers from 50 designated countries, including Nigeria, to pay a refundable bond of up to $20,000 before receiving certain visas. First introduced as a pilot scheme in 2025, the policy targets applicants seeking B1 and B2 visas, which are designated for business and tourism.

U. S, TO DISCHARGE TRANSGENDER TROOPS UNLESS GRANDTED WAIVERS. (PHOTO).


 US to Discharge Transgender Troops Unless Granted Waivers


The Pentagon announced on Wednesday that transgender troops will be removed from the U.S. military unless they receive individual waivers.


This directive was revealed in a Pentagon memo included in a court filing related to a legal challenge against President Donald Trump’s late-January executive order, which sought to ban transgender individuals from serving in the military.


“Service members diagnosed with gender dysphoria or exhibiting related symptoms will be processed for separation from military service,” the memo stated.


However, the policy allows for case-by-case waivers if a compelling government interest justifies retaining a service member, particularly in roles critical to military operations.


To qualify for a waiver, personnel must demonstrate that they have never attempted to transition and must show 36 consecutive months of stability in their assigned sex without significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other critical functions.


A previous Pentagon memo issued earlier this month had already prohibited transgender individuals from enlisting and suspended gender transition treatments for those currently serving.


Additionally, the latest directive disqualifies individuals with a history of gender dysphoria, cross-sex hormone therapy, or sex reassignment surgery from joining the military.
