[U.S. Plans to Revoke Up to 200,000 Business and Tourist Visas] According to Deep Tide TechFlow, on August 25, citing Jin10 Data, the Trump administration is preparing to revoke up to 200,000 business and tourist visas (B1/B2) held by foreign nationals who have applied for or are seeking asylum status in the United States. If implemented, this would become the largest single visa revocation action in U.S. history and is highly likely to face legal challenges. Documents and officials from the State Department reveal that the revocation of visas issued between 2016 and 2026 is expected to be announced in the coming weeks. This initiative will be coordinated with the Department of Homeland Security. A State Department spokesperson stated that efforts are underway to identify and revoke non-immigrant visas of individuals who claimed to be short-term visitors but applied for asylum to seek permanent residency. The specific number will be processed on a rolling basis. Officials noted that revoking visas does not mean immediate deportation. Most asylum applicants will be reclassified but will lose their status as business or tourist visitors.
