Department of State Announces Vetting on Visa Holders

The Department of State has begun “continuous vetting” of more than 55 million valid visa holders — a process that could result in revocations and deportations if violations are found.  The initiative applies broadly to all visa categories, including employment-based, student, and visitor visas.  Employers should prepare for potential workforce disruptions, maintain compliance and proactively support visa-dependent employees.
