Information From The Department of State Confirms Earlier Reports:
— Antigua and Barbuda’s Ambassador to the United States, Sir Ronald Sanders, has dismissed as false a claim that the validity of U.S. visas issued to holders of Antigua and Barbuda passports has been reduced.
The assertion was made in an article published Thursday by the Virgin Islands Consortium, which reported that visa validity had been cut to three months based on what it described as updated reciprocity schedules from the U.S. State Department.
The article also indicated that the alleged reduction applied to Antigua and Barbuda and Dominica, but did not state when the reciprocity schedules were reviewed.
Sir Ronald said the information in the online report is inaccurate.
He added that he remains in discussions with U.S. officials regarding visa restrictions announced by Washington late last year, as well as a subsequent pause in the processing of immigrant visas, or green cards, affecting 75 countries.

Facial expressions: gaston ask me to do a mass communication to the people of Antigua and Barbuda whom he construed as semiliterate, once the ALP communicate to it’s Alp fanatics, public perception will work, we can tell them it’s a UPP mischief.
Oops! What if they travel and learn the hard way?
All due respect, I do not believe that our government is being upfront and honest with us regarding this entire Visa situation. The citizens of Antigua and Barbuda deserve to know why we and Dominica are singled out for the US tough stance. It can’t be just CIP….St. Lucia, St. Kitts and Grenada are other countries providing CIP passports but they are not blacklisted this way. Antiguans and Barbudans are some of the least persons to overstay their Visas. We are deliberately being kept in the dark for some unknown reason. We deserve truthful answers now.

Whatever the reason, it is pointing to issues with Antigua and Barbuda and Dominica ONLY and any attempt to make it look otherwise is unreal and deceitful.
I want somebody to post 1 local who received visa so far for 2026…..everybody I know have gotten declined im aware of some green cards still getting processed thou
At the end of the day, people just want clarity. Travel policies affect real lives, so updates need to be clear and timely to avoid unnecessary fear and speculation.
Like he dont even know what going on. He saying one thing Gaston saying something else
Soo which or what is the truth exactly? The international media lied then?
Clearly trump doesnt want us in his place. Who cares if its fake or real. After all what Trump did you can see clearly he dont us in the US
This man Sanders keep taking us for fools. Papa V.C. Bird could see through him, that’s why he deported him when he was around. Lester brought him back here to mess in our affairs and Gaston continued this nonsense. People said VC was not so bright but he had vision that Lester and Gaston doesn’t possess. Sanders is now making a fool of Gaston and all of us while collecting big bucks monthly. So much for education
