US Plans Mass Revocation of Visas for Asylum Seekers

The US administration is preparing to cancel business and tourism visas for up to 200,000 foreigners who have filed for asylum, marking a historic mass revocation.

The action targets B1 and B2 visas issued between 2016 and 2026, with the State Department expected to announce the policy in the coming weeks.

While the move does not trigger automatic deportations, it shifts affected individuals into a different immigration category while their asylum cases proceed through the system.
