"Visa records are confidential under US law; therefore, I can't discuss the details of individual visa cases. But I would reiterate what we've said before: that as a host nation of the UN, the US is generally obligated under the UN Headquarters Agreement to issue visas to representatives of UN member states to travel to the UN headquarters district.
