It is pertinent to note here that earlier this year, US revised its visa policy for Pakistani citizens, introducing a fee hike and changes in duration of visa validity for different categories.
According to a notification issued by the US Embassy, the visa duration for Pakistani journalists was reduced from five years to three months, and the validity for work and missionary visas was also reduced to one year from five years.
However, there was no change in the validity for tourist, trade and student visas.
