An internal policy memorandum issued recently by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) states that these personal investigations, also known as neighbourhood investigations or watch, cover the vicinity of an alien’s (foreign national’s) place of residence and employment and include at least the 5-year period prior to the filing of the alien’s naturalization (citizenship) application.

The new 50% tariffs imposed by the US, which came into effect on August 27, are expected to hit Indian exports worth more than $48 billion.

Argentina now allows Indian citizens with valid US tourist visas to enter without an Argentine visa, aiming to boost tourism and strengthen ties.
