What Happens If My Nonimmigrant Visa Is Revoked By CBP At The Port-of-Entry?

If your nonimmigrant visa (i.e. B-1/ B-2, F-1, etc.) is revoked by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) Agency at a U.S. Port-of-Entry, it means that the CBP Officer determined that you are inadmissible to enter the United States.  Once your nonimmigrant visa is canceled, you will not be allowed to enter the country and under most circumstances, you will be placed on the first available flight back to your point of origin, or made to return across a land border. The CBP can revoke your nonimmigrant visa for a number of reasons.  Some of the more common reasons include the following:

  1. Ineligibility or Inadmissibility: Despite having a valid nonimmigrant visa, it was determined that you fall under the grounds of inadmissibility such as having a criminal record or unauthorized work during a prior stay in the United States.
  2. Misrepresentation: If you provided false or misleading information on your DS-160 application when you applied for your nonimmigrant visa, it may result in your visa being canceled and subsequent refusal of entry into the United States.
  3. Failure to Comply with Visa Conditions: If you violated the terms of your nonimmigrant visa during a prior visit such as engaging in certain activities that are not authorized by your specific category, this can lead to a revocation at the Port-of-Entry.
  4. Security Concerns: If CBP determines that you are a security risk or a threat to public safety, your nonimmigrant visa may be revoked.

Because a nonimmigrant visa is not a guarantee of being able to enter the United States, being refused at the Port-of-Entry happens from time-to-time. Depending on the specific reasons for the refusal, there are also other potential consequences including a temporary or even permanent ban from entering the United States on a future nonimmigrant or immigrant visa. In addition, because a foreign national who has been refused entry is not considered to have entered the United States, there is no right to appeal the decision.

If you find yourself in a situation where your nonimmigrant visa has been revoked and you are being sent back to your point of origin, it is important to consult with an experienced U.S. immigration attorney who can advise and help you understand your options and available remedies.

Visa Restrictions On Travel Agencies Facilitating Illegal Immigration To The United States

Significant action is being taken by the U.S. Department of State to prohibit visas for owners, CEOs, and senior officials of Indian-based travel businesses that intentionally aid illegal immigration to the United States. This move demonstrates the Department’s dedication to upending international smuggling organizations and implementing U.S. immigration regulations. The U.S. Embassy and Consulates in India, India’s Consular Affairs and the Diplomatic Security Service, actively seeks out and targets anyone engaged in trafficking, smuggling, and illegal immigration. Through these initiatives, the Department hopes to hold people accountable for breaking U.S. laws, particularly those who assist illegal immigration. By refusing visas to important individuals in travel companies who intentionally assist illegal immigration, these limitations are a part of a larger strategy to disrupt networks of illegal immigration. The Department of State emphasizes that its immigration policy aims to punish individuals who take advantage of and threaten the U.S. immigration system in

Important Update Regarding F, M, and J Student Visa Application Suspension

Following the United States Department of State (“DOS”) announcement to suspend F, M, and J student visa applications at Embassies and Consulates in response to implementing new policies aimed at social media vetting, DOS has released additional information. While this action immediately impacts plans of foreign and exchange students, DOS has made it clear that it does not stop program operations. All F, M, and J student visa applicants are encouraged to review their social media accounts. Deleting all social media accounts may result in a denial as an interviewing consular officer may conclude that the applicant closed the accounts to hide adverse information.
