The U.S. State Department is planning to revoke up to 200,000 business (B1) and tourist (B2) visas held by foreign nationals who have filed for asylum after entering the country. This initiative, which targets visas issued between 2016 and 2026, aims to curb what the administration describes as misuse of temporary visitor status to secure permanent residence. While the move is expected to face significant legal challenges, officials state it is part of a broader, aggressive push for stricter visa enforcement and immigration policy reform.
