 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.

 Over 300 South Koreans return home after ICE detention

A chartered jet carrying 316 South Korean nationals and 14 others departed Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Thursday morning, heading back to South Korea. The aircraft took off at 11:30 a.m. EDT after arriving in Atlanta on Wednesday.

The passengers had been detained at an ICE facility in Folkston, Georgia, following a Sept. 4 raid on an under-construction Hyundai electric-vehicle battery plant in Bryan County, near Savannah. The workers, part of a group of roughly 475, were held for working without proper visa permits. Officials said some had overstayed visas, entered the U.S. illegally, or held visa waivers that did not permit employment. South Korean authorities chartered the flight to repatriate the workers, who were released overnight from the facility.

President Donald Trump briefly delayed the departure while considering whether the workers could remain in the U.S. to train American employees and legal residents. The factory, a joint venture between Hyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution, has become a point of diplomatic concern, with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung calling the situation “perplexing” and warning it could affect future investment by South Korean companies in the United States.
