Nayagarh,(Baghuabarta): A US federal judge has declared it unlawful for the State Department to use travel bans issued to prevent the spread of COVID-19 as a reason to stop processing visas for otherwise eligible travellers that include technology professionals from India, according to a media report. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by a group of private individuals and a coalition of immigration law firms with support from the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), over the State Department’s refusal to issue visas during the pandemic, Northjersey.com reported. They argued that a “travel ban” does not amount to a “visa ban,” tweeted one of the attorneys who filed the suit.
