Of the 6,000 visas revoked in the US, nearly two-thirds, or about 4,000 visa holders, were involved in crimes. These include assault, theft, and drunk driving.

The US State Department has confirmed that some of the cases were also related to terrorism. More than 1.1 million foreign students were studying in US colleges in 2023-24.

The government is concerned that some people are abusing education visas. For this reason, the visa rules are being tightened.

200 to 300 visa holders linked to terrorism

The US has revoked 200 to 300 student visas due to terrorism-related cases. The visas were revoked under a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act that deals with terrorism and security. Details of these cases have not been made public.

Officials say these incidents not only violated American laws, but also posed a threat to the safety of college campuses and the general public.

The US government is continuously tightening the process of granting visas to international students. A few days ago, the US State Department announced the closure of the Visa Drop Box facility i.e. Interview Waiver Program (IWP) from September 2.

Now in this series, Vice President J.D. Vance sparked a new debate on Thursday by saying that the new gold or green card immigrants proposed by Trump do not have the right to live in the US forever.

In an interview with Laura Ingraham, host of ‘The Ingraham Angle’ on Fox News, J.D. Vance said, “Getting a green card does not give its holders the right to live in the United States indefinitely.” It’s not even fundamentally about freedom of speech. It’s about national security, but more importantly, it gives us the power to decide who we can include in our national community as American citizens. If the Secretary of State or the President decides that this person should not be in the United States, and that they have no legal right to be here, that should be the only consideration.

Notably, on February 26, Trump said in the White House, “The rich and successful can get these visas. They’re going to invest a lot of money, pay a lot of taxes, hire a lot of people, and I think it’s going to be very successful.” Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the “Trump Gold Card” would replace the EB-5 visa within two weeks. The EB-5 visa was introduced by the US Congress in 1990 to target foreign investment and is available to individuals who invest up to US$1 million.
