US Reverses Decision on Visa Denial to Five Gambian Teenagers

The United States Embassy in the Gambia has reversed its decision and granted visas to a high school robotics team to compete in an international competition in the United States.

The teams made up of five teenagers were on Monday denied visas to attend the first global robotics event in Washington dc.

However, in a second interview with the US embassy, all five students were given visas.

One of the students Fatoumata Ceesay said though she and her peers were not told the reason behind the decision’s reversal, the second interview differed a lot from the first one.
