The State Department is conducting continuous vetting of more than 55 million U.S. visa holders. Visas are revoked whenever indications of potential ineligibility appear, including overstays, criminal activity, threats to public safety, terrorist activity, or support for terrorist organizations. All available information is reviewed during vetting, including law enforcement and immigration records and information that surfaces after visa issuance indicating potential ineligibility under the INA. Since Inauguration Day, more than twice as many visas and nearly four times as many student visas have been revoked compared with the same period last year. The issuance of new visas for commercial truck drivers is paused immediately, and roughly 6,000 student visas were recently revoked for overstays and other alleged violations. State Department representatives did not provide additional details on vetting procedures or logistics.
The State Department revokes visas any time there are indications of a potential ineligibility, which includes things like any indicators of overstays, criminal activity, threats to public safety, engaging in any form of terrorist activity, or providing support to a terrorist organization,
We review all available information as part of our vetting, including law enforcement or immigration records or any other information that comes to light after visa issuance indicating a potential ineligibility under the INA,
As part of the Trump Administration's commitment to protect U.S. national security and public safety, since Inauguration Day the State Department has revoked more than twice as many visas, including nearly four times as many student visas, as during the same time period last year.
