"Federal Judges Deal Blow to Visa Applicants Seeking Anonymity In a significant ruling, a US District Court has stripped most visa applicants of their right to anonymity in a lawsuit challenging the State Department's visa vetting policy. The decision, handed down by Chief Judge James Boasberg, affects 49 US citizens who have been suing the government over allegations that the policy unfairly discriminates against certain nationalities. The plaintiffs had sought to remain anonymous, citing concerns for their safety and potential backlash from the government or foreign entities. However, the court has now ruled that their identities will be made public, potentially putting them at risk. The implications of this ruling could be far-reaching, and the case is likely to draw further scrutiny of the State Department's visa vetting procedures."
