Pakistan may be placed under the "Orange Category" in the upcoming US travel restrictions list, according to a report by The New York Times.
While Pakistani citizens will not face a complete travel ban, they may encounter stricter scrutiny when applying for US visas. The report suggests that specific types of visas for Pakistani nationals could be restricted, with only business-related travel being permitted under the new category.
Countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and Lebanon are likely to face a complete travel ban, while Libya, Palestine, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen are also at risk of being included in the restricted list.
The proposed changes indicate a shift in US immigration and travel policies, potentially affecting thousands of Pakistanis seeking entry into the United States.
