The U.S. State Department ordered broad suspensions of immigrant and permanent visa processing for dozens of countries, including the entire Eastern Caribbean and most CARICOM members.

The department cites alleged dependence on U.S. social security and welfare programs rather than employment as a justification.

Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and Guyana were spared.
