“To date, we still have a visa application from President Saleh at our embassy in Sanaa. It hasn’t been withdrawn,” U.S. State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland told reporters Wednesday. “We also have not made a decision one way or another with regard to that visa.”

Nuland reiterated a call that Saleh step aside and honor an agreement to transition power.
