General News of Saturday, 2 February 2019Source: Myjoyonline.comUS Ambassador explains visa restrictions against GhanaUnited States Ambassador, Stephanie S. SullivanThe United States Ambassador has explained that her country’s issuance of visa restriction on some categories of Ghanaians had been necessitated due to the failure of bilateral efforts to resolve the issue. Thus, the allowable duration of stay of a visa holder who enters the US, prior to the one-month visa expiration date, will not be affected. Current visa holders, student visa applicants, Ghanaian government officials travelling for official duties as well as participants in official US government exchange programmes, are not currently affected. She said the US would not force Ghana to take people who were proved to be non-Ghanaians. “Both we and government of Ghana are eager to resolve this issue that has spanned two administrations both in Accra and Washington,” she said.
