U.S. Has Revoked 80000 Non-Immigrant Visas: Know If You Are Safe

According to several official reports and the Press Accounts, like the Washington Examiner, the U.S. administration has revoked more than 80,000 non-immigrant visas since the inauguration of President Trump’s administration. Here, we have analysed the broader pattern of this revocation, so that you can learn whether your visa would be safe.

Our EB-1 experts have isolated some major tendencies of this revocation so that you know whether your visa is at risk. The intensity of this revocation shows a broader immigration related crackdown you need to be aware of.

What is the pattern behind such large-scale revocation?

The administration has incorporated many measures to intensify the vetting of non-immigrant visas. Alongside providing universities with stricter guidelines, the administration has also introduced social media vetting, stricter policies, and rigorous screening.

The numbers reported by other news outlets suggest: over 16,000 visa revocations were tied to cases of driving under the influence, around 12,000 for assaults, and last but not least, another 8000 for theft. As you can see, the major chunks of the revoked visas consist of criminal delinquency and lawlessness. They account for half of the total revocations this year, as reported by Reuters.

Moreover, a State Department Spokesperson added that in August, Washington revoked more than 6,000 student visas for overstaying and illegal behavior. Some of these illegal behaviours also include alleged “support for terrorism”.

Last month, the department revoked visas of at least six people over their social media comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. News outlets came to know from Marco Rubio, U.S. Secretary of State, that he has personally revoked the visas of thousands for involvement in activities that the U.S. foreign policy considers antagonistic. We can hear the same resonance in the directives from the State Department this year, which have ordered the U.S. diplomats abroad to be strictly vigilant against applicants with a history of militancy and political activism.

Are you safe from visa revocations?

Bureaucracy is hard to predict. And, it is not absolutely possible to confirm whether your non-immigrant visa will be bullet-proof safe from revocations. However, the general pattern of revocation seems to be directed against illegal activities, delinquency, and political activism. If you can steer clear of these three and keep your paperwork in order, you will be more or less safe from revocations. However, as a leading EB-1A green card consultancy, we want to add that if you are serious about your American dream, you can explore merit-based pathways like the EB-1 visa. A merit-based green card visa can give you unparalleled stability, which you will never achieve through a non-immigrant visa.

The U.S. Department of State has released the July 2026 Visa Bulletin, and for Indian-born applicants tracking the eb1 visa bulletin, the news is not good. For the second consecutive month, the Final Action Date for India in the Employment-Based First Preference category has moved backward. Meanwhile, EB-2 India and EB-5 India remain completely unavailable for the rest of the fiscal year, leaving EB-1 as one of the only employment-based green card routes still technically open to Indian nationals, even as that door narrows. Here is a complete breakdown of what the eb1 bulletin for July 2026 actually says, and how it compares to recent months.

Could Your Green Card Priority Date

October marks the start of a new federal fiscal year, and with it, a fresh allocation of roughly 140,000 employment-based immigrant visas. For applicants whose priority dates sit tantalizingly close to the cutoff, the hope also rises whether they will finally be able to file the Form I-485, i.e. the application to adjust status to permanent residence. As of mid-September, however, immigration attorneys are urging a dose of caution alongside the optimism. "It is therefore too early to say that EB-2, EB-3, or EB-2 NIW moved forward, retrogressed, or became current," one legal analysis noted, pointing out that the October bulletin had not yet been published as of September 11, 2026. Still, the employment-based backlogs "are expected to remain under significant pressure until FY2027 begins on October 1," according to Visa Bulletin trend analysis. Moreover, in several analyses, the categories like EB-1 and EB-3 are seen as more likely to see modest forward movement in the coming months.
