The United States has imposed sanctions on Pakistan after it refused to take back its citizen deportees and visa over-stayers from America.

The consular operations in Pakistan remain unchanged as of now but as a result of such a sanction mentioned in a Federal Register notification, the US might withhold visas of Pakistani nationals.

Pakistan is the latest to join the list of 10 nations that have been imposed with sanctions under a US law according to which countries refusing to take back deportees and visa over-stayers will be denied American visas.

The other countries include Ghana, Guyana in 2001, the Gambia in 2016, Cambodia, Eritrea, Guinea, and Sierra Leone in 2017, Burma and Laos in 2018.
