WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump's administration resumed processing immigrant visa applications from Hungary and Poland last week while maintaining a temporary pause on immigrant visa appointments elsewhere, four people familiar with the matter said. The directive to prioritize immigrant visas at the U.S. missions in Poland and Hungary came from the White House, two of the sources said. While it was not immediately clear why the U.S. singled out the two countries for special attention, Trump and his senior aides have cultivated far-right allies in both places. He publicly endorsed former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who was defeated in an election in April, and Poland's nationalist President Karol Nawrocki, whose election has put him at odds with the centrist government of Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
