What You Need to Know About the New U.S. Visa Reviews
In recent months, the U.S. government has announced that it is reviewing all valid U.S. visas—more than 55 million worldwide—for possible violations. This means that even people who already have an approved visa, such as a tourist, student, or work visa, may be re-checked by immigration authorities.
What does this mean?
The government says this process, called “continuous vetting,” is meant to identify any situations where someone may no longer qualify to stay in the United States. If a violation is found, the visa can be revoked, and if the person is already in the U.S., they could face deportation.
What kinds of things are they checking?
Authorities say they are looking for:
Staying longer than the authorized period on your visa
Committing crimes or activities that affect public safety
Involvement in or support for terrorist activity
Other information that suggests a person is not eligible to remain in the U.S.
They also review social media accounts, travel history, and past immigration records.
Why is this important for immigrants?
For many immigrants and visitors, this news may feel worrying. It’s a reminder of how important it is to follow the conditions of your visa, keep your documents up to date, and avoid situations that could create problems with immigration.
