The relocation L1 visa document was reduced from 60 months to 48 months; the commerce type E1 visa was reduced from 60 to 52 months; and the student F1 visa was reduced from 60 months to 41 months.
The biggest change was regarding the investors E2 visa document, which the U.S. government announced seven months ago that it would grant to Israeli citizens. Most world citizens who request an E2 visa can get a five-year permit, but the maximum period Israelis can get was reduced to only two years, Ynet reported.
The reductions will reportedly be in effect immediately.
Something is missing here. Can anyone fill in the blanks? Thanks
What kind of reporting is that? What is the reason for the reduction? And why only for Israelis?
They may have found that Israelis are more likely to abuse the visa by overstaying .
Chill ** There’s a good reason, I’m sure.
It could be related to the Israeli policy of selling off citizenship to wealthy Russians who falsely claim jewish ancestry or jewish spouses. Israel has been turning a blind eye, according to a report on this website last month. Even giving wealthy Russians an Israeli passport at Ben Gurion Airport, so they won’t have to be inconvenienced by security screenings before they fly back to Russia.
Perhaps they then use those Israeli passports to visit the US as “Israelis.”
anonymous,
Obama stuck it to Israel with that UN vote about Jerusalem being occupied. He was actually an Israel hater. What happened during his regime was that Almighty did NOT allow him to carry his hatred thru. Think, Kerry, Hillary,Rhodes, and the self hating ambassador to Israel that was Obum’s shickyingel.
This is a miracle.Almighty did NOT allow their evil plans to materialize..
Look at IranDeal. Trump Busted it…
Maga 2020 .
Israelis tend to play fast and loose with visa law here in the USA. If they went over the Mexican border illegally they would be fine but if you come in legally you have to follow the law and they tend to overstay visas a lot.
Dan Shapiro , and the vile Martin Indyk who continues to badmouth Israel thru some asinine think tank that he’s affiliated with.
This is a great development. Keep the aliyah hustlers in their own secular backwards country. Why must an Israeli come here? Stay in your own country. Stop bothering us. Stop visiting us. Stop shnoring. Living in Israel is the greatest thing since sliced bread. STAY THERE!
